They consist of four members: an explosives expert, a sharpshooter, a martial artist and a weapons expert, plus their mission manager.

Acknowledgments[]

Telos would like to thank:

Guitarmad, Chappy2 and Its Dawg for their massive contributions to the plot and characters. Well done guys!

The CHERUB series for inspiration with much of the plot and general vibe. If it weren't for CHERUB (and Guitarmad and Chappy2) Front Lines would have been much darker and not as humourous.

Everyone who has encouraged us, including our school teachers, parents and friends.

The Short Stories Wiki for being here and supplying a friendly and free place to write our own stories where they can be read and constructively commented on by others.

Everyone from the primary school that Telos, Chappy and Guitarmad attended, for their constant support and ideas.

Despite his illegitimate birth (for which he was mocked), William was proclaimed the heir of Normandy and succeeded his father as Duke in 1035, at the mere age of 7. William was supported by King Henry I of France, who knighted him at age 15 in 1043. In 1053, William married Matilda of Flanders, a noble (she was also a distant relative!).
