Gentry Thu, 10 Nov 2005 00:36:35 +0000 http://escapepod.org/?p=65#comment-393 This may be the first "hard SciFi" story I've heard on Escape Pod. I'm searching my memory for anything that's even close in SciFi terms and can't come up with anything. I think I've enjoyed maybe a handful of stories on EscapePod as much or more than this one, but IMHO this story ranks near the top of the list. I still think that "The Girlfriends Of Dorian Gray" and "The Once and Future Dentist" are probably better stories than this one, but not by enormous margins. This story was enjoyable in a variety of ways: Most notably for me, that the world it was set in was believable and fleshed out enough to allow us to accept it and be interested in it... to lead us into thinking about what other things in this world might be waiting to be discovered. I've long said that the sign of a great movie is one that shows a world that you want to explore beyond the boundaries of the movie you are watching. This goes double, triple, or even quadruple for stories and books. This story suceeded in that measure quite well. Ok, enough comments. Scratch that. One more. Steve Eley, you rock. Thank you for EscapePod and all the enjoyment it brings to me. Brian Gentry This may be the first “hard SciFi” story I’ve heard on Escape Pod.

Short as the story was, I found myself tied to Shari before long and hoping that maybe she found gainful employment elsewhere when the all was said and done. I would _love_ to see (hear) this continued. I was a chem/ nursing major in college and love a good bit of twisted, semi-noir setting. This story had a little of everything.
