Crossing the Camp (Fiction Friday) Review
Crossing the Camp (Fiction Friday) Overview
"At the west entrance to the detainment camp, government workers string another layer of wire against the wall. It uncoils through human hands like a metal snake without a head. I tell Jaime Mundo, my new trainee, that the fence will be electrified by the time we leave tonight. He nods, fingers twitching for rosary beads that aren't there, and I force a smile his way. We pass the guard house and enter the camp. He's going to have to learn quickly."
This story was first published at Strange Horizons in January 2001, and was named an Honorable Mention story in the Year’s Best Science Fiction vol. 19. It was reprinted in my SF novel "The Wannoshay Cycle," which is also available as an ebook.
"I thought the writing was powerful, the men and aliens sympathetic as they wrestle with their own emotions, and examine grim moral dilemmas while trying to do good work. A fine story. "— SF Site
