It's a decent story. It should be read as a speculative fiction romance piece, the romance being between the title character (the Bishop, part of a very regimented, advanced and competitive wing of humanity) and Sebastian (happy-go-lucky but honorable member of a tightly knit crew of an independent cargo carrier). It's decent filler for a SF magazine but I'm not sure about all the award nominations. Definitely good enough to encourage Garcia to keep going and deepen his craft. We need writers to try and stay ahead of the machines.
