Reactions and Reviews
[The Froma, reviewed by Aralias]: The online version starts with a summary... of the entire plot. So don't read it. Just skip the first paragraph.This story is a lot shorter than the others. It's a heist! Actually it reminds me quite a bit of that Barry Letts audio (Seven Fold Crown?), which also has the same group of people (Avon, Vila, Soolin and Tarrant + OC i.e. Hugh) attempt to steal a relic from a display. That version was actually more fun, but then it is the best scene in the audio.
This one as a whole is good. I like Vila being competent/silly. I also like this alien, and the way the ending is done. More good Avon caring stuff - he actually says at one point 'I don't think anyone believes that any more' (or something, in response to Blake saying that Avon pretends to be emotionless). Several good B-A scenes, one of which is sort of described in this paragraph.
Nice to do some rebel business. And of course - I love a heist. More heists in B7, please. Always more heists.[1]
