jeriendhalStill plowing through Jon & Rupert's Prisoner manuscript. The story starts out as a murder mystery of all things, though thanks to the constant survelliance in the Village the mystery is less "who" and more "why". Frustratingly, I'm only up to page 86 or so, and I want to get this thing finished quickly so I can get my comments back to Jon in a timely manner.
There are some nits I don't agree with (mostly involving what appear to be non-British speaking mannerisms), but overall the story is quite cracking. Definitely a different animal than "Fallen Gods" which is the only other thing by Jon that I've read. Things move along at a snappy pace, and J&R have an excellent grasp of the sort of tightly wound, eliptical dialog that was typical of the original series at its best.
I'm going to shut up about the book now, before I reveal something important and Jon feels the need to send me on a permanent seaside vacation.
