I'm beginning to warm up to this story, and it's taken time, but I decided I like it.
At the start the plot began with Rick's deception, -one that could hurt someone
vulnerable. I didn't like that. Now that Rick's become involved in another lie, and
one done to help another vulnerable person, my view of him has changed. The
confrontation in the park helped. Rick isn't selfish and spineless, and you are just
playing with us again, wicked man!
It would be naïve for the twins to think that nobody would guess, or that nothing
would go wrong. I can understand why Josh is so upset over Phillip and Parker,
since he'll have to deal with the consequences. At least he got a chance to escape
for a little while. I'm worried about this trip to D.C. Something's bound to go
wrong. At least Josh knows that he's not alone, and that's a huge relief.
Those nasty zealots on K74 are at it again. They are the terrorists of the Solar
System. All that G-force sounds uncomfortable. I suppose I wouldn't like one of
the future amusement parks. Our boys don't seem to mind though as they rush
to confront the new threat, like heroes as always!
I like this story, even if it was a happy one. People-watching in some places can be
fun, especially in museums when it can hardly be avoided anyway. Andy's comments
about the other patrons are interesting, even if they are only fiction. It was a refreshing
meeting with a new friend. You captured the mood simply and perfectly, without all
the other baggage that comes later.
Two close calls for Josh. The deception is only getting more difficult. Then we're
left with Ethan in bed and ready to say something. Hmmm, ...what would that be?
There are times now when I miss the simplicity of DOS. It was so direct and easy
to get around in without all the hassles of today's Internet.
I didn't know about the matter of the miscalculations of the Soviet missiles. I find
that to be amazing, and don't know why I didn't know about it until now.
Thanks for the enlightening chapter.
I read this novel a while back on another site, -I can't remember which. Now I'm
reading it again and that's unusual for me, but I really love it. It's addicting, one
of the best things I've ever found on the internet. I'm so glad you've brought it
here to GA.
I love the idea of a dolphin flash mob.
SuperSonic rules again! The boys aren't doing too badly either. Having to go
all the way to Uranus is so unfair though...it's cold out there.
I'm happy that Alexi and Josh are together at last. The long separation over and
they are all happy as a family. These last chapters were well worth the wait.
Thank you for the fine story!
It's good that JT could focus on the football game and play well, considering what
he'll be going through in the next two days. The details about his mother's murder
would've been shattering to me. There's so much tragedy and death around the boys
right now that it'd be easy to get carried away by it all.
Such a contrast between this homecoming and the last one, but so goes life...
I'm savoring this version.
Then you go and throw a snake in it!
-What's this Guild?
Graeme, you can guess by now how much I enjoyed this story, and may wonder
if I'd have anything else to say about this final chapter and the way you ended this
story. It was happy and real. But I was especially happy to see that you'd managed
to tie up all the loose ends. They were all tied up in neat, leafy boughs.
I love The Tree.
-Pardon that awful pun, but it popped into my head last night and...
It's happy news about The Tree, but I think John Young isn't one to simply let
things go. The man has such an ego that I can imagine him trying something
really stupid just to get his way. He probably thinks he's above the law.
I'm happy for Vince and Matt, and a little worried about something bad coming
up to mess with their plans. But I do think that love is strong in this community,
and it will prevail. Thanks for another fine chapter Graeme
Alexei is a mean, greedy, and scheming animal. His attempt to abduct the boys is
ruthless and as heartless as the USSR. I think this disqualifies him as a human
and so can't you just kill him off? The wicked little bastard is messing everything
up. The Putain too.
Why do I have a tear in my eye? It's just a happy tear I assure you!
The secret's out for sure now, and it's only that confounded Council that needs to
come around., -that and the unhappy Felicity creature, the Youngs too must be
defeated.
