Ceres Storm by David Herter

Strongly Wolfe-influenced. Daric is reminiscent of Tackie from "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories," or Nicholas from "The Death of Doctor Island," or Little Tib from "The Eyeflash Miracles"; and Daric's circumstances resemble Number Five's from Fifth Head of Cerberus.

The prose in Ceres Storm is frequently impressionistic and fragmentary. The effect of the space-mariner lines/points on Daric's augmented sensorium is like an ecstatic ritual chant or a prayer of supplication.

I wanted more character work, and more development of the spacial and historical vastness of the setting. I would love to see a continuation, and/or more SF from David Herter.
