The Twelve Children Of Christmas A Baihu Short Story eBook James Chalk

Having read his other two works, "The Meat Market" and "Cyborg Spell Shop," I am now a HUGE fan of author James Chalk. While "The Meat Market" was dark and gritty and depraved and sinister, and "Cyborg Spell Shop" was zany and entertaining while still gritty, "The Twelve Children of Christmas" proves that Mr. Chalk is adept at writing many different genres -- all within the same fictional universe! "The Twelve Children of Christmas" is a heartwarming fairytale about a mountaineering expedition gone wrong, and the lengths that Baihu, a genetically engineered tiger, will go to to save the children of that expedition. The scifi is very believable. The characters feel real. And the story itself has a heartwarming parable feel to it, sort of like a Saturday morning cartoon kicked up several notches. Mr. Chalk has himself one hell of an amazing fictional universe. Just the fact that his universe feels so alive in its diversity -- not only diversity of culture within the universe, but diversity of types of stories that Mr. Chalk can comfortably tell within that universe -- is a testament to the strength of that universe. I can see Mr. Chalk's franchise universe continuing forever. It's so real that you could tell a thousand different stories in it and not get tired. Just like George Lucas and Gene Roddenberry created amazing universes to play in, Mr. Chalk has done likewise. A great talent and a great writer -- I sincerely hope Mr. Chalk keeps up the good work. What interesting corner of your universe will you explore next? I am eager to find out!

The Twelve Children Of Christmas A Baihu Short Story eBook James Chalk Reviews

It's a christmas story, nothing special or really interesting.
Having read the cyborg spell shop and meat market, I expected something else.
I am a dog lover, especially of Beagles. But i instantly fell in love with Baihu!! The author does a great job of weaving these mini stories in and out of each other. The action comes like boom,boom,boom!! There is a quote from Baihu that I found telling and skillful of attributing human thought to an animal character. "...Not safe to flee.Must kill." Bravo
The hero in this tale is a white tiger named Baihu. She is telepathically connected to Jonathan, who in this story is only known as the transport driver. If you’ve read any of James Chalk’s other works, you’ll know Jonathan is much more. This is gentler part of a universe built by the author.

Mini sections switching from scene to scene set the pace of this story. This method of writing enhanced the tension, driving the reader to keep turning pages in this heart pounding yet enchanting tale. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and hope the author continues to release more Baihu stories.
THIS IS A STAND ALONE SHORT STORY OF BAIHU ONE OF THE CHARACTERS (sort of) FIRST INTRODUCED IN THE JONATHAN HARKON ADVENTURES (MEAT MARKET). I FELL IN LOVE WITH BAIHU IN THAT STORY, I COULDN'T HELP IT I AM A CAT LOVER. I WISH I HAD A CAT LIKE BAIHU. NOT ONLY AM I A CAT LOVER I LOVE A FAIRY TALES. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS PART OF A SCI-FI SERIES, IT HAS A FAIRY TALE FEEL TO IT. THIS IS A VERY SHORT READ AND I LOVED IT, CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE OF THIS SERIES. SO GLAD I READ THIS SERIES (started with Meat Market) SCI-FI IS WAY OFF FROM MY USUAL READING TASTE. ONE THING I KNOW NOW IF IT'S A WELL WRITTEN SCI-FI I REALLY ENJOY READING IT. WHO KNEW!!! ;D
I LOVE Baihu! I'm a big fan of creature heroes in stories and animal sidekicks. Reading this made me squeal and handclap quite a bit since this is Baihu's starring role! The style of this short story was a little unorthodox, but it grew on me as I continued to read. With each page, we saw a piece of the story from the POV of another character in the tale.

I had formerly thought that Jonathon was a bit anti-religion, or at the least, anti-Christian, but you see that's far from the truth. I love his character a little bit more now.

The fast-paced action reads smooth, and the character-building plot made me read this swiftly in a single sitting. I wish that there were more.
The Twelve Children of Christmas has all the beguiling elements of a fairy tale. Equally important and like all great fairy tales, the story has an underlay of age old philosophical and spiritual concepts such as hope, faith, love.

In just a few pages, I was transported to the North Sphere, Care for All Colony where I experienced a unique and refreshing Christmas Eve with a mystical like white tiger named Baihu that saves Christmas!

I highly recommend this entertaining short story that also makes for a great read for children at Christmas and look forward to reading Mr. Chalk's recently published novel, The Meat Market.
This is a short endearing Christmas tale. If anyone can create a dystopian Christmas, it has to be James Chalk. There are three facets to this story which come together at the end. Elsie, a nun initiate is coming back to the orphanage after taking the children out for the day. She is having doubts about the path she has chosen and wonders if God is testing her. The Reverend Mother at the orphanage muses over the way the world is changing, making the line between right and wrong, thinner.

And then there is Baihu, the majestic Bengal tiger, ferocious one minute and gentle the next, who is the ultimate hero of this Christmas tale. This book is a milder offshoot of The Meat Market, with some of the well known characters like Jonathan and Baihu, but it feels like a teaser for bigger things to come. I love the settings, the promise of suspense and maybe of romance, a future to be explored. Children will love Baihu and his adventures! I hope there are more Baihu tales in store for us, James Chalk!
