If I was ever going to give a story straight tens, it would be one of Lazlo's stories, and this one in particular. Sadly though, I never, ever, score more than nine for Technical Quality, there's always a typo in there somewhere, even if I don't see it.
Technically, Lazlo gives us the best of the best. Firstly, a unique plot, beautifully conceived; couple that with a delightfully quirky main protagonist, a sense of humour, and a touch of philosophy, and you have one of the brightest stars in the firmament of SOL. A light-hearted story that fizzes in your mind like a good champagne fizzes on your tongue, but without the dry taste. There is, of course, a more fundamental message if you can see it.
The unique product of a fertile mind, the story is beautifully constructed, and romps along far too quickly because the end comes too soon. This is another gold nugget in the dross of mediocrity that is SoL.
The same applies for Boston Solutions Incorporated, the follow-on story that you, dear reader, will be lusting after when you finish reading Solutions Incorporated. Starting where the first story ends, it's yet another romp through the weird world of Magus, and his sidekick Titus.
