Not terrible, there's a lot of promise in this story. Nice character development, not perfect but at least the reader can see beyond the beautiful, sexy, perfect humans that exist within this world. After reading a few short stories by this author, Richard Christian, the familiar troublesome troupes of to much coincidence, way to neat wraps ups, and the absolutely attractive perfect female character still exist, but there's improvement within all of it. I wish it could of been a tad longer, go more in depth with certain character motivations because they were interesting ideas.
