Author's Response: Thanks MF. That's a very nice compliment. Lio is a wonderful POV for me to use at times in order to evoke violence without necessarily having to show it in action. (I can't stand violent tv or movies and can only nominally tolerate it in books. I'm just one of those people who prefers to have it happen "off camera". And yeah - Q is Q after all. A big, lovable, benevolent, evil bastard.

That is one compelling scene. Fromt he deathbed perpective accounts and the details of the Shentarian attacks - all engrossing and horrifying. Just brilliant writing to carry across so much and create a sense of fear, horror, carnage without expending lots of energy showing it. Quite a treat to read writing like that.
And of course, carpet pulling opinions on Q from nice guy in the previous to a bit of a horror in this in how he treats Beth. Terrifying. As is Beth's ability to navigate his ways and means. One smart and sassy and brave lady.
