Oh thank you. You always leave such nice feedback, Jen. I do like the way this turned out, though it surprised me at every turn. Glad you liked as well.

Bra'tac is such an interesting character, isn't he? I mean, where did his rebellion come from? Was it just from being first prime? If so, why didn't every other first prime also come to the same conclusions? And how, if he's being so disillusioned about something so central to his life, does he then turn around and all but adopt a foreign-born youngster? With no cynicism? I mean, seriously, that is a very interesting backstory.
