Although I am not a native English speaker, I recognize when a story is very well written. I am also fascinated by the way you constructed the story, gripping from beginning to end.
Bravo! Exquisite prose, modern and entertaining. The counterpoint between Rudger and the critic Kruzmaka is great. My compliments to you.
I am German and also not a native English speaking, by the way :)
Thank you for the compliment.
Good to know, since how I began the story, actually was intended to be a bit boring (people babble and swagger around the subject for the sake of talking) in order to make later a point. LoL
And I was not sure if the reader makes it up to the point where it gets interesting.
Well, I think that sometimes the stories we create, take their own course, and surprise us. For me, this is a clear example.
