This week, the Sentinel and The Carosa Commentary begin a three-week experiment in storytelling.
For the next three weeks, read the opening chapters of Dead Load—then step into the story, make the decisions Nick faces, and begin building your own Agent dossier.
Presented here in full is Chapter One of Dead Load, a new action thriller by Chris Carosa. Chapters Two and Three will appear in the next two issues—but reading the story is only the beginning.
At the end of each chapter, you will face a question about the decision Nick Stello is about to make. Submit your answer to see whether your instincts match his and begin building your preliminary Agent dossier.
The print novel, eBook, and interactive visual novel are still in development. Sentinel readers are the first invited to enter the story, test their judgment, and help launch what its creator calls the Serial Book Game.
Read the chapter. Make the call. Enter the story.
Are you ready?
Go to Dead Load: A Nick Stello Action Thriller – Chapter One: The Plumb Line to start!
