Wow! I just finished reading this story, and it was amazing. The storytelling was smooth, sure, and confident. I felt I was in good hands as I read. The characters were appealing and realistic. I loved the way the relationship between Terence and his young acquaintance developed over time. And the kicker, when it arrived, felt both inevitable and a complete surprise. Well done!

Well now, I need to
Go find more by Mrs. Montgomery! Its a short, but very thought provoking. Not a spoiler, but this reminded me. My Dad used to tell stories including one about a friend from church who called him once and suggested he should get out of town with the family on short notice. So, I recommend this if you like the nuts and bolts and sometimes heartbreak of mankind's attempts to make it off this rock to the next. Bravo

This is a very interesting 'first contact' story.

The story got interesting and then it ended. Most of the 40 something pages of it was headed somewhere, then it ended. Is it a prequel or book 1 of a 3 part trilogy? I'm baffled.

A surprising read.
Still smile when a writer catches me out with an alternate end than I envisioned. I like this writer, she's different.

This is a great first-contact story (as in, a short story). I can't tell you anything about it without spoiling it. You'll just have to read it.
I gave this 4 starts to start with. I've rethought the story and decided that it was such a marvelous story that I had to revise my rating to 5 stars, even if it doesn't have the "social justice" sort of thing I look for at that level. It's just an awesome read!
