McKay Rec: Such is the Way to the Stars
Rec Category: McKay

Author's Website:faded press
Link: sic itur ad astra - such is the way to the stars
Why This Must Be Read:
Rodney, for all his grumping, has a pretty nifty, offbeat sense of humour. This story highlights that in a way that is very natural and real ... it's light without farce, and it has Rodney's inner termagant popping up without being a caricature of him. Add to that the fact that Otter has a deft touch with description, and I'm in love. Movement, touch, sound and sight are all brought into a being, making this story so wonderfully easy to visualize. It's the C-story that got cut for time before going to air.
Her Summary: Getting by in a world of finite resources. More or less.
