That was WEIRD. I mean REALLY fucking weird! I've never been that big into sci-fi but I couldn't put it DOWN! I love how you managed to set this all against a high-tech future backdrop without ever having to stop and explain any of it. Everything came across so effortlessly in context, it didn't impede the story at all. Did a brilliant job of supporting it, in fact.
Ray was just terrific, the way you pulled him off as an underpaid overworked nitty-gritty streetwise cop-from-the-future was just... well. Greatness. I wouldn't have thought it could be anything but cracked-out goofy, but boy did you prove me wrong. He was just so RAY the whole way through.
And your FRASER! I loved that little twist about him not even knowing he was a bot. So sad and sympathetic and heartbreaking.
God, the whole thing is just aces. The writing is snappy, it's vivid, the whole concept's too clever by half. It's like Due South and Star Wars and the Matrix and Bicentennial Man all crashed into one. I loved it.
Jump complete, Ray thought, and a sizzle started in his brain and coursed down his arms and legs and out of his mouth like a laugh, disbelief and belief colliding in a single bark of surprise.
