The haiku reveal very delicate perceptions. After reading these haiku, the striking phrases reverberate within us. The style of the haiku is simple, but is not monotonous.

Ein Jahrhundert Kälteschlaf als Strafe dafür, einen Planet voller Hinterwäldler in Schlacke verwandelt zu haben, ist selbst für einen ISS Sniper eine schwer zu schluckende Strafe. Aber ich stecke es weg wie ein Soldat und denke nur an die nächste Mission: einen anderen Planet mit noch mehr Hinterwäldlern auf Vordermann bringen. Ich mag Selbstmordmissionen ebenso sehr wie jeder andere Sniper, aber bei dieser habe ich das Gefühl, dass wir ins Schlachthaus gehen, um Verstecken zu spielen. Und wir sind nicht die Metzger, sondern das Fleisch. Sie sind die gefährlichsten Kämpfer des Universums, im Dienst der absolutistischen Föderation der Vereinten Planeten. Sie sind mehr als nur Soldaten, mehr als nur Menschen und die idealen Killer. Sie sind gnadenlos effizient und hunderprozentig effektiv: die »ISS Snipers«. Aber auch für den abgebrühtesten Mörder der Galaxis kann der Moment kommen, in dem er seine Mission hinterfragt... Eine neue SciFi-Konzeptserie von Jean-Luc Istin, dem Schöpfer von »Conquest« und dem Universum von »Arran«, die zugleich kompromisslose Action und zynische Reflexion verspricht.
