Sergeant Riley's Account is a gem of a novella. Tight, well-written, masterfully formed, this thrill-a-minute ride will keep you glued to your seat until the very end. As the Afterword explains, this novella was not conceived as a prologue to Michael K. Rose's Sullivan's War, but it serves so well as an introduction to the his universe that I want to run out and read everything else immediately.The dialogue, the rising action, the ultimate climax at the end--everything presented is stitched together with a master's hand, weaving a tapestry of imagination out of the blank page.
