Reactions and Reviews
This was a sequel to a story by Jane Mailander which I haven't read called "Some Say the World Will End in Fire, Some in Ice'. In principle, I dislike sequels. Fussy, aren't I? But sequels almost invariably demand knowledge of the original story, which can be hard to find. Or they present numerous other annoyances which I will not list here since it isn't pertinent This was one of the exceptions. I felt no need to have read "Ice&etc/ to understand this. Synopsis: CI5 Agents Linda Keogh and Sally Woolridge, on an op, discuss their boss, the Controller of CI5, Iron Bodie - who has never smiled since his partner Doyle was killed. Woolridge's unrequited love for Keogh is only one of several interesting threads here. It helped that Jane Mailander used a few of my favourite plot devices: I like the idea of the hero who survives the worst possible scenario - in this case, for Bodie, Doyle's death. I love the idea of Bodie being Controller of CI5 and I love the older Bodie. I even like the idea of an older, repressed, angry Bodie who has nothing to live for but his work and no human feeling left I like the idea of older CI5 veterans remembering earlier days in the Squad. And though I don't usually like original characters, Keogh and Woolridge were interesting enough to carry the action of the story, while keeping the focus on Bodie and Doyle. [1]
