Reactivation Clause,
...although I liked pretty much all of the stories rather well.
Wheelman was hilarious because of our veiwpoint, talk about a rather cocky 'pup' - plus the crew of the 'Eternal Optimist' is one I wouldn't mind serving with.
The Last Hurrah is pretty solid, but I'm waiting to see how the rest unfold before giving it my higher praise - I mean, judging a story before it's finished is, for me, rather 'jumpy'.
But, as an introductory tale it was rather impressive.
Although I've stated why in another thread, I see no reason not to share it again.
I liked Reactivation Clause because it hit a chord with me, as one of the consistant 'misty' moments for me are tales of noble sacrifice that are rewarded with a surprising twist.
You just have to the love those moments, since they strike a deep chord in those of adventurous spirits, or those with a sense of such spirit.
Plus Kye is just a solid guy, in a way he reminds me of either one of my grandfathers - old school to the bone and they would, easily, put themselves on the line for their fellow man.
I refrain from saying more because I wouldnt want to ruin it for other people
