    Chapter 20

    As much as any conflict of the last century, that one stripped away the last vestiges of war as a glorious institution.

    Maybe this is an easy sortie that even that sot can't turn into a clusterfuck?

    Chapter 23

    I think that Jamie remembers that Vane is so well connected that he couldn't be disciplined for ineffectual leadership after the Belle Therese fight. His patron in the Admiralty would see the official ship's log from the incident at the ruins of the sugar mill and perhaps look for a scapegoat. Jamie was vulnerable to a rumor campaign as much as any actual charge of wrong doing.
  4. The Forms Are Observed Noon Watch on the Quarterdeck The sun hung high, casting sharp shadows across the deck of HMS Absolute. Awnings stretched taut over the quarterdeck to blunt the worst of the heat, but the air beneath still clung thick and close, tinged with canvas and tar, tempered by the slight breath of wind off the sea. A long table, usually reserved for charting or inspections, had been positioned beneath the awning and flanked with chairs. Captain Huxley sat at t
  5. Great start! I like Jack a lot an look forward to seeing what he is up to.
  6. Beware this immortality you crave, young William. It is a state that many regard a curse. Welp, that's the story of my life summed up in one warning. Great story so far.

    Chapter 31

    The conversation during Drew and Jimmy's walk is beautiful writing.
  9. "In my youth, we were perfectly naked," Douglas grumbled. There's always one guy bitching about the decline in standards. SMH

    A Vile Act.

    "Scared of what? Jude?" he sneered. "He's not a monster. He's just... a bully. But you... you're worse. You're part of it." Interesting perspective. The narrator certainly didn't enjoy his part in the experience, so I look forward to seeing how this plays out.
  11. Interesting development. Lots of options on where this one could go.

    The Project.

    That took a turn! You did warn us in the synopsis,
  13. A story with a lot of disappointment for the narrator as he learns some bitter lessons about the people around him, but none for the readers who can savor this well-written piece. Highly recommended.

    Chapter 4

    Yeah, I don't see Granger as susceptible to the same repression and caution that plague Pitt. He might have had both Pitt and Blake by now!
  16. Chilling! Well-crafted horror.

    Don't hold back! Be as blood thirsty as you want.
  18. The Line Holds, Just Officers’ Wardroom, Early Evening The lamps in the officers’ wardroom cast an amber glow across the polished wood and brass. The table had been cleared of charts and cups. What remained was silence, broken only by the occasional groan of the timbers and the faint creak of a distant block swinging in the breeze. Captain Huxley sat at the head of the table. He had not changed his coat. He had not removed his gloves. His expression like a man weig

    Chapter 1

    Hmmmm... making a Fairy Prince angry just doesn't sound like it will contribute to a Life Plan of tranquility and calm!
  20. Some lush writing about the food. That was great!

    Chapter 32

    Very good chapter!
  22. That is a naughty chapter, and I love it!
  23. I was today years old when I learned that a club called the Phallus Phactory was the place to go to see naked women. The Mermaid's Throne on the other hand....

    That couldn't have gone much worse for Jimmy. I'm glad he got through it.
