We read this for Orcs & Aliens in January, and Regan did a much better job summing it up than I ever will. While the world was intriguing, the story was too short and felt too much like a writing prompt (assignment: write a Sherlock & Watson tale set in your fictional universe). This somehow won the Nebula Award for best novella, and I'm not entirely sure how, unless it was a bum field that year. Meh.
