Some interesting ideas are presented here,, but I did not feel that the story worked at all. I'm afraid that I am not a huge fan of this author's work (at least, judging by the stories I have read to date). This is admittedly based solely on stories that have appeared in Gardner Dozois' The Years Best Science Fiction.

My rating system starts with a rating of one star for a story/novel that I ranked "C -". Ratings move up 1/2 star with each step, up to 5 stars (equivalent to a ranking of A+). I reserve 1/2 star for works rated D and lower.
