This is absolutely one of my favorite series. Now, once again I get to look forward to new chapters, and re-read from the beginning to sate my cravings in the meantime!

I'm nearing the end of a re-read, but just found a small error in chapter 60. The line, ". . . begin transferring the treasure over to Bacchante." should say "Santa Clarita"

I'm usually a fan of Will's, but frankly I was hoping he'd step out of the limo with a busted lip or a black eye. He needs to be taken down a peg or fifty. Not that I'm actually advocating violence, but he was just such an obnoxious little shit.

Mark, if you weren't already aware, Valiant doesn't appear to be categorized as a Bridgemont novel

Mark, have you been taking lessons from CJames on how to drag out the climax of a story?

I like the story so far, but your use of "thru" hits me like a brick wall every time I read it, especially when you used it in place of "threw".

It's also worth noting that Ned is a bit of a pack-rat. So while he claims to have thrown them away, they could actually be somewhere on the lot....or on another boat as "new" components.

I figured that the hiding place was in the bows that Ned replaced on Ares and trashed the originals. He wouldn't think to look there and it would explain why nothing was found during the renovations.

I almost can't believe I'm writing this, because I love the story...but please tell me that it's going to start picking up speed and/or start wrapping up soon. The last few chapters have seemed like a lot of fluff work to progress the story.

I haven't really followed this story but I have to wonder how culpable Paterno really is. From what I understand, the only knowledge he had was what the grad-student reported seeing. Therefore anything that he followed up on would be based on hearsay and he wouldn't be able to provide any more information than what he gave. He reported it to the school authorities, as per procedure, and at that point he should be alleviated of any further responsibility. My understanding is he had no first-hand knowledge. The whole situation is atrocious of course, but does Paterno really deserve to be a scapegoat?

Why does NASCAR tolerate wrecks?

Have you tried something like OpenOffice.org? It's free software that is very compatible with Microsoft applications.

I don't know if I'll make it, I saw a whole 4 snow flakes today...at first I thought it was some nuclear mutated hail...till my Coloradoan boss informed me otherwise.

A baker's decade does. And at least for the time being I tend to consider 2000 to be the beginning and 2010 to be the conclusion of this "decade" although I'm sure as we get further into the '10s my view will correct itself.

Amazon appears to have it for rent, $3.99 http://www.amazon.co...91499563&sr=1-1
