Hey Spec, An enjoyable read. I have to agree that this is way too short for even a short story, but it does make for an interesting start to a good book. The pacing is a bit disjointed, and only because I can't bring up the visual images as quickly as the action is unfolding. But, then again, that could be a reader issue (this one in particular) and not any oversight of the author. More please. :o) - M
