Thank you for this story. It is one that will remain with me and will be thought of and perhaps a bit quoted from time to time.
I found myself cheering and at times wiping a tear from my eyes. Few stories can do that to me these days.
The worst part of it is that I could wish for more details in every part of it just because you presented it so well.
Even the references to weapons where I felt a bit of error was made in the tech aspects were good enough that I did not find real fault. (Weapons are just something I enjoy knowing about, and have spent a life time using, and repairing etc.) The way you handle them in your stories leaves nothing to detract from the story, and focusing on other things is in its own way more effective in the telling of the story. In the end, it is never the "bow and arrow" but the Indian that makes the tool useful or not.
No need to change it as perhaps some of the newer ones work as you describe, but the small Canadian mini grenades that I have used were concussion, not fragmentation ones. Can't tell how I know, but throw one in a stream and after the boom, just take a basket and gather up your fish fry LOL. Bet rocky had a few good fish fry recipes.
Please keep writing and I will keep on enjoying your work.

Just trying to see which completed stories are here on TB2K and which ones that I need to get a copy of over here.

This one deserves another bump. It's a good read, I don't recall how may times or in how many places I've read it... but it's good every time. Right up with Kiri and Leeda`s stories.
This is my favorite and I've read it at least three times. I liked it so much the first time, as soon as I finished it, I started it again. It's been a few years so I plan to reread it this winter. I love the fact that this story does not leave you hanging...you get a good epilogue that wraps things up with no loose ends.
When I first read this story, thought the premise that the eco-freaks were terrorists and out to damage other because of their own extreme views was a bit much. Now I'm not at all sure about that- this story has a lot of Kathy's prescience about 'future' scenarios, and I'm having to reassess how far the left will go. Her stories sure wear well!
