Sorry for your connection! And the computer issue!

Yeah, I did spend a moment on the eye/mind switch, because mind almost worked in that situation. (Then I spent another moment wondering if somehow I had missed a psychic element to the plot.)

Sounds like the "Hunger Games" trilogy has influenced a lot of authors. Well, the series was brilliant, so it's not surprising.

Agreed. I love that sort of plot, so I'm all for other books being influenced by it!
