ObB7? Er, Mission to Destiny owes too much to Agatha Christie, who was
crap.
Well, crappish.
But Agatha Christie (although she couldn't write a character if you nailed HER feet to the floor) was one of the most brilliant technicians of pure plot in all genre fiction. ObB7: it's beginning to look like there are at least as many fen who like detective stories as who like science fiction--I've often wondered why there are so few B7 detective story fanfics.
