Title: sorry, didn't work
Review: The story itself didn't work for me.Yes, the characterization was pretty good.Yes, the precog element was well thought through.No, that's not enough.The story was told from the Mouse's viewpoint the whole way through -- right up to the very end, and then there was an abrupt switch. It added, I suppose, to the surprise, but I thought it was a fundamentally dishonest way to deal with the reader. Come on, play fair! Anyone can think through precog and throw around intriguing characters. It's not enough. Bring it together and make it work.Thumbs down.
