    Chapter 6

    "He never realized that sex would be such a workout. Well, maybe that could be a solution to his chubbiness." if only !! Perfect body through sex; that is a wonderful fantasy!!

    Chapter 5b

    Chapter 5a

    you certainly write inner turmoil very well! the "not standing up for someone" would touch just about everyone - school yards are very hard places and "different" does not do well. man at his most animal. without education we are a very uncivilised bunch.....

    rather shocked to read that Marcus and i seem to share the same mother! running into Andy was perfect. I see strife ahead. great read Thanks

    Chapter 2

    Really? Undoubtedly there are men like that, but IMHO and in my limited (ish!) experience a lot of guys would have that reaction. two reasons: do you really want to have sex with someone who has NFI? and second, there is a risk of huge regret after the event and do you really want to cope with that? just found this story and really enjoying it! great writing. Thanks
  6. that is a huge understatement!!! tho' in rereading Hornblower after reading the Grainger stories, the absence of sex seems weird!

    Chapter 13

    "and its not even scary" - never a truer sentence. That feeling that occurs, for some anyway, when all this independence that as a teenager you had been striving for at every opportunity, suddenly becomes absolutely meaningless when you find "the one". great writing. the scene greeting his mum; not knowing how it should go, but knowing that how its going is not what you want or need..... Thnaks

    Chapter 12

    i get the feeling that by not opening his father's letters his missing something....and not a bad something..... enjoying the story.... keep it up!

    Chapter 4

    Our hero is able to charm the French, the spanish, some of the top brass in England and even some of the Ottomans, but when get gets an enemy be it a Wilcox or Sawyer, he gets an implacable enemy. Great story, love Hornblowers role. Thank you.

    Chapter 11

    I am very much enjoying the story, but I am warning you, one more self centred, idiotic, unthinking juvenile outburst by our hero, Cal, and I will personally intervene and slap him. He really is a well drawn if infuriating character. Looking forward to next installment...😆

    Chapter 9

    can't quite see how he'll end up in gaol again. There is still hate speech and defending yourself against hate speech must count for something.... you'd hope. Meanwhile I am not sure there is a pit deep enough for Mark, unless his rant hid deeper pain....
  12. Great story. Two things; the 1k word limit on chapters, why? I read the story in one sitting so it didnt meqn much to me, but if i was limited to 800 words a week, i would have gone stir crazy! Second. If this story about how the US military treats its wounded returned service personnel is based on fact then I am even ore disgusted by them that i thought. Treys treatment was verging on criminal. Other than that I really enjoyed it, looking forward to the sequel!

    Chapter 44

    "I am convinced she is not a woman, but the spawn of some mountain creatures sent to destroy humanity,..." what a perfect description of someone you truly hate!!

    Chapter 77

    having just read "Odyssey" in almost-but-not-quite one sitting, it is an amazing tale. while for purposes of literature it was always going to end well, the twists and turns, the successes and, failures, conniving and conniptions on the path have made this a truly wonderous tale. Congratulations. Now if Americans could only sort out and differentiate between their donkeys and their arses....

    Chapter 39

    i am surprised that Granger was not more impressed by the Alhambra. While the new palace would have been similar to what Granger had seen in GB, the Alhambra is something a hell of a lot more cultured, cultivated and beautiful than anything else in Europe at that time.

    Chapter 14

    I, too, am rereading the story with the same attempt to forget the future!, it gets harder the closer I get.... But that the story still keeps my interest and the tension is still tension shows me that our friend Mark Arbour is a master writer!

    Chapter 17

    Bertie is a bastard......

    Chapter 6

    Someone said that the path of true love doesnt run smoothly, never moreso with our hero! Poor bugger. Enjoying the story. Thanks.

    Chapter 2

    The seamsnship, the politicing, and the cards ever so close to his chest. Its is great to be back on board with grainger!

    Chapter 6

    I love how the story is evolving. Very satisfying! Thanks.
  21. Do you realise how bloody awful it is having people who have never met you, describe your life? Up until age 22 i was a charicature of my own life, one, you Method, dear, have satirized perfectly!
  22. I had my old topsiders, looking slightly worse for wear, until 1999 or 2000 when i moved to Canada. They were worth every penny paid for them!
  23. Great start to a story. So many names from the past coming back! Thanks Mark, we have missed our mate Granger!

    Chapter 2

    "He's a bit of a hottie"; youd hope that would be every parents response to whoever their child brings home....☺
  25. An American "Sloane Ranger"? Tho' like the Preppy, while they had been around for ages, as a group they were only defined in the 80s.
