Reactions and Reviews

Goodness, what a fabulous ride this is! I'm discovering the wonderful world of XF fic of all types and pairings, and I never thought I'd ever be reading a Knowle/Shannon story. Deslea gives them both such rich and deliciously angsty backstory that this storyline could well have been incorporated into the series - and it would fit with seamless perfection. To take such one-note characters and breathe life into them this way is the sign of a true writer. Knowle is almost child-like in his single-minded view of his purpose in the plan, while Shannon definitely knows there's got to be something more than killing. Their relationship (I hesitate to call it romance, though there's hope) is chronicled from its otherworldly inception, and I was absorbed into the story from the get-go. I can't say enough about how excellent this story is, from all standpoints. Give it a whirl - you won't be disappointed!
