This month’s Signature Background featured 9.11 by Mark Arbour. Usually when we feature a story by a Signature author, we like to get a review from one of the site members… but the very nature of 9.11 made that difficult. It’s a story in a very long, very complex series, and CAP isn’t something you can just jump into anywhere. So, instead, I thought we’d let a few of Mark’s over 1000 reviews (holy crap!!!) share reader’s favorite parts and thoughts from the very emotional tale.

Series: CAP Saga Bk 13
Length: 502,253
Status: Complete

From BigBearPaul: I know that this is my first review but I sometimes get overwhelmed by the quality of the postings here. That written, I really love the CAP stories and I love this constant struggle that appears between the Schluter and the Hayes men… Again, great story and so much more to look forward to.

From jack.unders: OMG!!! What more can I say that has not already been said so eloquently by all my fellow fans and readers of CAP and other sagas that have been borne from the imagination of such a fertile mind as that of our beloved auithor, Mark. To all of his assoicates that have contributed to the publication of what has been up to now an amazing journey through the lives of JP's family, my heartfelt thanks.

From dtothesecond: It just gets better with every book. It is easy to see, just by having read this book in its entirety, that 9.11 took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to put together. That was such a turbulent time in everyone's lives, mine included. I've stayed quiet for a long time (I think I last posted when "Paternity" was still new...dang time flies) but I just want to say once again just how much I appreciate your amazing talent for writing and the fact you share it with us, your devoted fans, here on GA.

I look forward to seeing what awaits that Crampton/Schluter/Hobart/Danfield/Carrswold/etc clans in the coming book. It's my (and many other readers, from what I've seen) hope that Matt finally figures things out in the next book. I guess only you know if he and Wade will eventually work their ways back to each other and I eagerly await the twists and turns that are sure to come in the next book.

From Mark M: Wow, realising I joined the CAP series in 2008 with Be-Rad means I've been reading your work for like six years. (Holy crap)
These story are just pure gold in my mind. However some authors I read kill of characters left right and centre.

I believe the creator of "Game of Thrones" (The Author) has the record for most introduced and killed main characters. I have not read his work but I do watch the show.

And alas he is gone and has not returned I will mention Vlista here also as one of the most descriptive brutalish writers I have read.

But in Also Seriousness, Mark. I Rank you in one of my favourite authors of all time.

And there are many more reviews where these came from!! Mark has one of the most vocal readerships I’ve ever seen—commenting on his characters as if they live—because for so long may have for readers within the series. To keep up the continuity well enough to please fans in the time-sweeping CAP Saga is an impressive feat, because they’re certainly not shy in sharing their criticism on the plot and characters just as freely as they praise it. And that’s just what we like to see here on GA!
