4.0
A quiet, measured short story that could only have come from John French, Now Peals Midnight is the calm before the storm, in which Rogal Dorn and the loyal defenders of Terra take a last, deep breath before the Siege of Terra begins.
For all that there’s not a single moment of action, there’s a real sense of intensity to this story. French teases it out slowly, pacing the story as the final few hours slip by, building a quiet tension by playing upon the reader’s understanding of what’s coming.
