This was another great one by Denis E. Taylor. Found it while pre ordering Bobiverse 4.

Makes for a great intro and would love to hear more stories from this universe.

Another winner by DET.

Great now fill in the gaps please. I am sure there is a full length novel in there. Thanks for the taste though.
It strikes me that there is a whole new series in there somewhere.

As a proposal it’s good.

As all good short stories, this one leaves you wanting more. Taylor's grasp on sci-fi is firm and well-crafted.

Enjoyable short story
