Contact Window deals with the mission talked about in The Return, as readers get to see the events referenced in that story, play out. Well-written and fairly involving, I enjoyed it, but I liked the ending somewhat less than Perry’s prequel/sequel short story set in this same world, and inexorably connected to this story. Perhaps if I hadn’t read The Return first, I might not have found the ending to this story — and mission — just a tad disappointing, or perhaps anti-climatic.
