A story of alien invasion as seen through the eyes of a teenage girl
..complete with dialogue from broke-nosed combatants along the lines of “-dod do dat agaib!”
Evil virtually baddy goes from bwahahaha to noooooooooooooooo as his cunning planning is foiled.
in this world of instant communication, and a world wide web of all things being possible, a distance between people, and between people and events is apparent.
I had been looking forward to reading a Gene Wolfe story in this volume, but in the end was rather let-down.
The story skips along at a fair pace without really offering any real depth, or colour, or description (save for the opening restaurant centre) beyond the routine
The ghosts of battles long past come back to haunt an ex-soldier.
Sometimes a story has simply too strong a resonance with another story, or, in this case, a film, to really be comfortable with.
An intriguing setting for a short story, and one that you could see being worth the investment of more time from the author.
