This story brings pulp to a whole new level. It's a complete and total Ian Ayris creation, and I adore it. You were handed a challenge and knocked it out of this world and through several others.

I'm still not really sure, but the respect felt for the surfer dude is amazing, a complete contrast to the absolute lack of respect held for the louts. It seems like simplicity in terms of style and power, and maybe Ian's found it easy to write; to me, though, this is full of my favourite ingredients.
