This is very enjoyable as a balance to all those sweet regency romances! (Which I confess I am addicted to...) Sorry for my late reply - we've all been down with the flu here in Germany as well ...]]></description>

I wouldn't necessarily argue with your timeline. Usually scientific advances are faster than SF writers expect, with the exceptions like predictions of colonies on the moon by the end of the 20th century. I suspect your son will grow out of it; or maybe you could introduce him to EVE online which actually has a community which does things like run suicide watch on vulnerable members. You need to be bright AND sensible to play it, not being a 'shoot-em-up']]></description>

Virtual reality is just around the corner (I thought more in about 20 years than 40), and cyber world is already addictive enough, without the complete sonsory input you describe with the helmets and without the pleasure part being thrown into the bargain.<br />I look forward to see more of Cobra's story!]]></description>

I wrote it to be creepy, scary and only too possible. I'm seeing it set about 2060-2100 Ad. I haven't specified because Science Fiction writers always get the dates wrong when they put them in.<br /><br />Cobra has a soft centre. I wrote an outline of his future for Emelyn, but I do plan to have more humour, albeit rather black, than horror. And a happy ending.]]></description>

There will be NO Kzinti in the story though, even though they are cool.<br /><br />I later introduce a woman Cobra tries to chat up, but she will get antsy when she finds out who he is. Ultimately, he finds out that the Landlady's daughter figured it out long since and he settles down with an aunt-in-law and will stick to pro-bono work so as not to risk people he has learned to love.]]></description>

Not so far into the future as I assumed cyberpunk would be... the threat is rather close to being real.<br />I kind of like the assassin, just as intended, I suppose. I wonder what else he'll do what turns out to be a good cause.]]></description>

I would be happy to read more, even if it's not your usual world and characters. I really liked the landlady, too. Hopefully we see her again. :-)<br /><br />Was the Pleasure Dome inspired by Ringworld's tasps?]]></description>
