I love writing science into my stories, so it is truly lovely to hear that you enjoyed reading it and that it didn't detract from the story. The team interaction is also something I love to read, so again it is so nice to hear you felt that everyone worked for you. The relationships between the characters, between John and Rodney themselves, but also between the boys individually and the rest of the people on Atlantis, was something I worked hard to depict. Strong emotional storylines always captivate me in totally when I'm reading, so I am really pleased to hear you were drawn into the story and wanted to find out what was happening. I wanted to use the dual timelines so that I could bring John into the story throughout and so I'd also have the counterpoint of a happier 'past' to work with the angst-filled 'present' as the plot slowly revealed itself. I'm really thrilled that you enjoyed it so much; thank you.
