5 out of if 5 stars An achingly sharp short story proposing an alternate history for authorizing the use of weapons of mass destruction. The moral question proposed is a well written variant of the "trolley problem" from ethics and philosophy.

5 out of 5 stars Kit Baldwin is a self-admitted mess inside her own head so the tale she shares might seem to be a bit of a messy read too but it is worth your time. From the outset Kit demonstrates that she's a true hero by doing the right thing to help others despite being "just a regular non-Empowered person" while some Empowered folks do nothing because her city is behind on their payments for protection. From that opening begins an adventure of discovery and growth for Kit that isn't an easy path but I'm glad to have taken it with her.

Some internet research confirms that dolphins and whales are both voluntary breathers.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent continuation of the Walrus tech series. The characters and story are very engaging. I'm looking forward to reading the next book when it is released. I really appreciate the plot recap from the first book that the author provided. #Bookstodon
