Some great stories, but for anyone that has not read " In the Shadow of the Dragon " you are missing out...

@centexhairysub -- you are absolutely right.  @JamesSavik has a really good story in "In the Shadow of the Dragon."  It has more than just the military aspect to the story -- it has the kids working together; it has the adults planning ahead to keep the kids safe; it has the distress of the ones trying to solve the problem; it has the complicated family relationship of one of the less featured character, and a lot more.  One of my favorite characters is Jacobs -- and I don't want to say more about him at this time so I don't give a spoiler of part of the story for those who have not yet read it.

@Myr, these Deep Dives are a wonderful service for us, the readers.  Thank you again.
