I appreciate this Carter much more than V1.0 Carter. You show us a lot more going on in him this time. I felt the old Carter was largely going through the motions of being in charge and accepting his role as a figure more than a leader.
Thanks, John! I'm enjoying the prose format because it gives me more room to flesh out the characters. And I think you're right—the first time around, there was an aspect to Carter that made him feel as if he was sleepwalking, or resigned to being a pawn of fate. That's definitely not what I want to communicate with this incarnation.
