  1. I had a feeling this was going to be a good one. I even put off reading it until my free day so I could savor the experience. Fantastic story. Thank you. Brilliant execution.

    Probably (no make that definitely) the best short story I’ve read in a very long time. Thought provoking and well rounded. I particularly love this style of ‘first person’ writing complete with all the little insights and quirks which make it possible to care for a character even in such a short story – and believe me I’ve read so many full books which don’t achieve this!

    My letter to my 15 year old self? Look out for Kristine Katherine Rusch books in a few years time – oh – and read the Retrieval Series in order!
