Why This Must Be Read:

John Sheppard is on the wrong side of adolescence for this to be termed a 'coming of age' story, yet essentially, that's what this story is: the repeated clash of John's true needs, wants and desires with how he feels he has to present himself provides the crux of the story. Oh, it's dressed up in science fiction, with aliens that make them do it, and a bond that is forced on both Rodney and John, but it's really the story of John coming to terms with a part of himself that he wishes did not exist. The emotions are real and personal, showing all the conflict that John goes through that he doesn't want people to see. The story does a great job of showing how isolated John is from what he is feeling, and what he will do to maintain the image he feels has to maintain--until Rodney is involved. That's when John knows that something has to change, and his struggle is wonderful --and painful-- to watch.

Why This Must Be Read:  Tiffany Parks writes a humorous tale of subterfuge and deceit revolving around Col Makepeace in the Season 2 timeframe, when we still liked him for his...mind.  Yes, that's it.  She brings in the incredibly flirtatious Dr Barbara Shore from the movie (and the books that came from the movie) to round out the cast and add that vital leer required to fulfill this premise properly.  Read this for a good holiday laugh.   For those who've seen the "Chris Judge finds out about furries" videos, get that smirk off your faces!. 
 

tell me, please, am I the only one who is thinking of Ben Browder on stage in a white rabbit costume when I read this story???
