A Proctor shouldn’t think, certainly not about his Councillor that way.ĭespite Conditioned Response being the first entry published it has since been identified as the second in the series. He had no idea why he’d never seen her like this before but now she was all he could think about. After more than a decade, she was not a little girl anymore and he couldn’t bring himself to let her go. A few months, maybe a year, and he could send the little Phoenician girl home again, back where she belonged. Raif had never intended for things to go this far. Shayla had plans of her own now and they didn’t include the Seven Chiefs or the World Council. Well, the Seven Chiefs could keep their Plan. They’d entrusted her safety to a human Proctor named Raif. None, except that the Seven Chiefs had ordered her to do it. There’s no good reason for Phoenicians to live among the humans. In fact, I find it is often an indicator of the writer’s prowess if they can elicit a strong reaction from their reader. Baldwin is not a good story in fact quite the contrary. This does not necessarily mean that Conditioned Response by Marjorie F. I actually put it down last night and intended not to pick it up again but my curiosity got the best of me, minutes later in fact. I don’t remember the last time I “ rage quit” a novel and I didn’t this time …but it was close.
