Similarly to the churn, this story serves as an exposé on an individual, providing important character development.

Well, it was nice to know what actually happened on Anderson station. Quite an interesting novella, especially if you maybe liked Fred as a character.

Great short piece giving the backstory behind Fred Johnson and his first meeting with Anderson Dawes. I would have liked a little more detail, but I liked it!
