Why This Must Be Read: Daniel, Skaara, Abydos, and moonshine. What more do you need?
How about lush and loving prose that evokes scents and sights and tastes to put you right there in the story with Daniel? Perhaps it's the gentle weaving of past events with current ones, as Daniel's mind wanders to other occasions involving alcohol. Or, most of all, Rigel's enchanting portrayal of Abydos, in which she creates the rich and vibrant society that embraced Daniel as one of its own.
This story is a treat. Read it slowly, and savor.
"It is good?" Skaara clasps his shoulder and leans down to whisper in his ear. "Will it work?"
He'd spent weeks with the metalworkers, scratching out designs with burnt sticks of charcoal on slabs of stone, gesturing and explaining with his hands. He'd even fashioned a working model from clay and demonstrated its workings- to the delight of the clusters of children that had taken to following him around during the day.
"Yes," he says, standing up and placing his new brother's hands at the handle. "You try it."
There are shouts of joy as the water begins to flow.
He thinks now of windmills and pipes that will carry it uphill - even across the desert to Nagada - and scoops a handful of sweet water to his lips, washing away the dust.
