Other Reviews: Search Web, Browse Review Sites (Issue 11-12|18) F&SF says the author’s novel Memory was the "inspiration," but it’s hard to know what that means. The story ends at a natural point it’s all about Yaphet learning to fly, and not only has he done so, he’s leaving home too.Ĭon: This feels a lot like a fragment of a longer story. He’s a good person, as his determination to use the machine to help his cousin shows. It’s hard to believe he so easily makes a flying machine until he remarks that he’s sure he has done it before.

Yaphet charms us with his innocent scientific curiosity. Ultimately, I concluded this is a fantasy story in a secondary world that has 20th-century-level technology.
