  COMMENTARY

I searched high and low, but could not find any short comings in this
story.  Both of the main characters seem real to me.  For that 
matter, so does the majority of the supporting cast.  The plot is 
very nicely paced.  The story develops as it proceeds.  Its appeal is
not based solely in how the author sets it up, but all so in how the 
author executes it.

What I really liked was the interaction between Miranda and Rob, both
verbal and nonverbal.  I think the author does a wonderful job of 
clueing in the reader as to how both of them are feeling and 
thinking.

This is not a science-fiction story.  If you want to know what the 
device is, then read the story.  You will not be disappointed.
