rating: 4 of 5 stars Bobby Fischer story; except that Bobby is a "she". Really good stuff, fun, fast read. Predictable ending, but if that is the best I can come up with, it must be pretty good.
rating: 4 of 5 stars Great fiction from an accomplished writer. It is not a Fire Upon The Deep, but it is still an extremely compelling and rather fast read. Armchair detective novel - except with statis based time travel.
