The Directorate #4
First Posting
A Novella. Fourth book of The Directorate series. Three shiny bright graduates head for their first postings. They all want to get on Teams, to explore across the dimensions. But Ebsa finds himself behind a desk, and Paer's a nurse's assistant in the hospital. They are both determined to earn a spot on a team. Ra'd is the only one who's gone straight to teams . . . but an Action Team? Well, no doubt their reputations are exaggerated. All he has to do is fit in and enjoy the work.

Good story
But it's too short! I feel like I'm reading a couple of chapters and then stop to do a stupid review. Want longer!

I am enjoying these stories of Ebsa, Ra'd and Pear, as I do most of the Wine of the Gods stories. The byplay between Ebsa and Ra'd and the character development is quite well done, particularly Ebsa slowly overcoming his inferiority complex.
Best read in conjunction with the Wine of the Gods mainstream books and this one fits in at about 30 or 31 I think but I could be out there slightly

Teeing Things Up
The three students who we've been following through Directorate School have graduated and gotten their first assignment. This novella covers the different assignments each gets, but it really seems to be teeing things up for the struggle to save the One World. It's a fast read that moves the story arc but I think it would have had to been shoehorned into a different novel and expanding this into a novel would have added complexity without moving the story any farther. As a novella it takes advantage of a primary virtue of e-books: The ability to make the story exactly as long as it needs to be.
