Review: Great storytelling.

This short story is an excellent beginning to what is obviously an much larger tale. I find the idea of the Amish migrating to a new planet both fascinating and logical, in view of the history of the Amish. I like Jed - he is a product of his beliefs and his sheltered upbringing, but he's also very practical and sharp. As such, I would not describe him as naive. He adjusts to changing circumstances rapidly as he is caught up, through no fault of his own, in events that he never expected.There are very big hints in this installment that all is not as it seems. There's no way to explain that without spoilers, though. Read it for yourself and see what you think. I think there is a great deal more to the story, beneath the surface of this short beginning. I look forward to reading the next installment.
