There's just too much to love about this chapter to fit into a review - from PTSD - far too rarely handled well in fiction - to Laas reconnecting with her childhood in an oddly foriegn but familiar setting. A very good exploration of meditation (and gratifying that it wasn't going to work for her in that moment.) And Clancy's insight that this was a journey she would have to take alone.

And some well-referenced descriptions of Peru. I like the idea of a Bajoran temple in the Andes - that has a ring of verisimiltude. Just an excellent chapter - Thanks!! rbs

Author's Response: Thanks for the kind words. This was a fun little story to write and an important milestone in the character's development. We have seen her suffer quietly for quite some time in Star Eagle. Here, finally, she takes the first step to healing her psychological scars.
