SFWoE reviewer, Dilip Agarwal, had this to say:
"Casualties Of War", establishes itself quickly and draws steadily to its conclusion. The war . . . is an interstellar crisis, and in this case, of the diplomatic, rather than military variety . . . This is economics imagined in the language of combat. And it is combat, one of the most vicious where populations are exhausted through slow starvation and civil unrest rather than by bombings and battlefield weapons.
Called by Ed Bryant, "a heart-felt examination of culture clash," "Casualties of War" tells the story of Joshua Parrott, a trade negotiator from Earth, and the dilemma he faces when a young woman comes to him begging for help.I hope you will enjoy "Casualties of War."

Awesome! Thanks Angie!
I really liked that, Angie. It's hard to create such a solid world in a few short pages. Great work!
You have such skill with science fiction. I'm not a huge fan of the sci-fi (although I do like it) and you make it so fascinating.
Sweet! Thanks for the link! I'm going right now. =)
I'd agree w/ LT. It's not my bag unless done well and you do it well, my friend :D

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! You made my day. =D
Those were great reviews! Great tribute post, I'm off to read it now.
Hi, Angie!
Your story was fantastic! It was so heartwrenching to think that poor Ruthin had to give up her baby like that, but it was also amazing that Joshua found a way for the baby to be saved. It was definitely a creative solution and very exciting!
