The Yggdrasil Codex
by Hugh B. Long
This is a very entertaining short story which starts out in an area that is ripe for the humor plucking. Academia where blunders lead to discoveries and upstarts disturb the serious researchers who are wound just a little too tight. The underlying plot device to this work is one that I'm very fond of and you will just have to read it to figure it out. I enjoyed this story and I recommend it.

Humorous and somewhat good build up of the plot. The author needs to write more of this stuff.
