A few nit picky notes aside, the grammar is off some times and the balloon placement seems arbitrary. However The Locksmith does flow nicely in its story, with a long poetic observational rumination here and there by Bobby as he deals with fallen comrades. There's a deeper darker story floating in the background and Terrance Grace is wise enough to let it take its time before taking over the narrative. There's no sense of urgency here, which in most cases would seem a detraction. Here, the slow pace and few words work out just right.
Parts 3 and 4 are for next Tuesday. The cover on Part 4 has an astronaut on it, so I'm bound to run into a few bizarre things yet...
