132/150 This straddled the line between a low pick and so-so, but the conclusion was exciting enough to push it into a pick. I'm not really fond of stories with heavy religious overtones, so that took away some of my enjoyment of the scientific aspects of the story. The Christian preacher and evangelist seemed more caricatures than real characters.

Ken Dolby stood before his work station, his smooth, polished fingers caressing the controls of Isabella.
