The Churn

Good short story revealing some of Amos’s pastI enjoyed the short story. It was well done, though it was a bit obvious that the original Burton was not Timmy/Amos Burton.I wish they would have explained more about his life with the mysterious motherish person. I just didn’t understand their connection. It was sexual but not, it was maternal but not. It was a lot of this but also the exact opposite.The ending was humorous. That two people who might have been his closest friends/allies just take care of his exit strategy for him, without informing him of these changes.So does Naomi know his history? Do the UN police/military? They’ve made some interesting comments about Amos’s past. Do they think he was the boss-man or do they know he took over the name after the fact. Either would be impressive from their perspectives and it makes Amos still a bad-ass that no ones messes with.I hope they give more about Amos in the novels and how he meets Naomi. I would also like to know, if he ever heads home to Earth, would he attempt to find these friends.The short story didn’t flow the same as the novels, so my guess is that only one of the authors wrote it. It was good, but missed something too. At least it wasn’t as terminally long, like the novels have been written.
