@Ben: Thanks for the kind words. :)
@Thanael, I actually pitched a great many stories with various locales and directions (some quite quirky!), and this was the one the editor picked. Ocean's Eleven as an influence for various novels makes sense--that landmark film changed intrigue-heavy caper tales as a genre.
Though I love getting into little niches, I rather like kicking off my contribution to Golarion in sort of a broadly appealing way. Golarion is a world with a very broad scope, and there are certainly many ways to go.
@All: I would be happy to write more about Tarrant and his escapades. I'm glad you guys enjoyed the story!
Cheers
