'Neither Gonzalez nor Frank Tittle had any idea who the anonymous tipster was who had led Gonzalez to Sharpton'...this from the honest narrator, humm, could Bridget be involved? Anything to tie up Sanchez for a while would seem to be in her favour...she is now heading towards Perth,,, and the Kookaburra....My oh my, how will it all end... I share the above mentioned amazement with the foresight and planning CJ had to have to make this all come together, I mean the whole thing about how the Aries made it to Australia with the registration not being owned by Rachel, but kept with the charter company which Trevor owns, this was like 50 chapters and ten years ago. Now the significance of this is revealed by the witty maritime lawyer who used it to save our boys from further turmoil!! CJ you continue to keep us on the edge of our seats! The twists and turns make my brain discombobulated, overloaded and wanting more! Is there anyone else who prints these chapters and goes over them with a fine toothed comb, looking for hidden clues? I know, call out the white coats and get me committed, it's sooo much fun though!! Thanks again for another great chapter. I'm dying to see what next Tuesday brings!!

Oh, this is SOOO FUN!! The electronics involved in autopiloting Mr. B's Deboanir reminded me of Leaving Club Leo, sounds good but I have no idea what it all means...with that said.... here is our take. BB is too good to kill, she is the ultimate hero villian. She will dispose of either of the other B's (Billy or Basingstoke), cut off a head or two and use her own makeup skills alluded to in the last paragraph of Grand Feint to construct a blond teenage replica of Trevor, take a few pictures and forward them all to her 'Dearest Sanchez' with the apology that this will just have to do... Only then will Trevor be set free and in the process we will learn much more of the relationship that exists between Ms. Bellevue, (what her family ?owns land in WA!?) and Rachel! Oh, and the pictures, (Lisa, Shane etc.), kind on like a rogues gallery of the teenage players for Bridget to remember in her later years as Queen of the Cartel!!! Thanks again CJ, your humble readers can only hope YOUR wheels won't fall off prior to the conclusion...

Oh no, the Queens Gambit, offering a pawn for better field position, could this be Trevor and Shane alone 50 miles off shore with Mr. B on his way with Napalm? CJ says the Queen is Bridget, that was an unexpected surprise to see and hear from her again, bad pennies always seem to turn up unexpectedly! Speaking of ladies not heard from in a while, where oh where is Trevors mom? We think her relationship with Bridget goes back further than any would know and there may be items of interest that only she understands...hummm... Can't thank you enough CJ, I agree with comments from above readers that Tuesday mornings just won't be the same,,, whenever it ends... You are truly amazing! Thanks again

Just another humble reader expressing his support and encouragement. The profound emotions conjured up in this story seem so real. It's like the ultimate 'forbiden' love story, a theme that is eternal. The love expressed by these two is so heartwarming and real and certainly will be missed. I was hoping that maybe you will be able to get these guys at least through high school, but it seems the eighth grade took 5 books and 85 chapers and it's still not even Christmas vacation! Not sure the remaining four years will even be possible . Your story has kept me entertained almost longer than these kids have known each other, I have tried to read it daily for the last few months and will surely miss it. It seems as if the charcaters are just now starting to grow, Perry to visit his father and hopefully learn more about the divorce, perhaps putting some of his emotional struggles to rest. Jesse's dark and mysterious past is always a source of wonder. When I first met Jesse I thought he must certainly be an alien, so beautiful, athletic and kind, just unworldly. When Perry wasn't swept up into the atmosphere during their first attempt at Martian make believe I figured he must be real. Alas, I have come to the end, at least for now. I was hoping that book 5 offered more of P&J but in the future it appears the numbering is different as book 5 actually preceeds the latest book 4... So here's hoping that P&J's future will be alive with the wonder, excitement and promise that will forever keep us hopeless romantic readers on the edge of our seats. May those Crystal Blue Saphire eyes shine in all of us! Thanks again for a great read.

Hi Adam, Thanks for writting this wonderful love story.. Your ability to meld the various activities along with the poignant emotions and bring it all together is truly remarkable. I have to agree with other members views on Andy, makes me want to rip my hair out. For such a smart guy to not understand Matt's perspectives seems odd, but then we all have our demons to fight. Look forward to the finale and hope your 2012 continues well!

Another great chapter. As I sit at my desk, I still can't figure out how you do it. I guess you still have to work somewhere, then throw in some social commitments and I don't know where you find the time or energy to weave this spellbinding story. We all are truly honored that you share this with us, the entertainment value is unsurpassed. Your skill as a writer is magnificent! Not to mention any impending cliffs... Let's hope that the kids aren't killed, that would not be fair. I noted The Goat mentioned the sharks teeth are treated with some unnatural vinyl substance to help preserve them, let's hope that this isn't mentioned as foretelling for future medical examiners purposes. I can't wait to see this on the big screen, let's hope The Goat has an agent! Regarding Mrs. B, something tells me she can't stall for 2 1/2 hours waiting for Sanchez to get the 'starburst' ready, whatever that is, the gunship will be upon her by then, oh bother, my guess is somehow she will use Billy Boy and sacrifice him for her own survival!! Only time will tell, can't wait for next week! and Thank you, thank you.

Hi Viv, Just finished your story and thouroughly enjoyed it. I love this meaningful, tender, real and rich subject matter. It really touches ones heart. Your story reminds us all the hatefulness, shallowness and waste of time spent on things that should just be accepted! I loved the allegory used when Stephen taught Lily how to better throw a baseball with her left arm. Let's hope with time all people will understand and accept ones innate programming for what it is. Thanks Viv

Wow, I've finally caught up to the author, how cool is that. This is my first post and I want to say that as a middle aged MD your novel is extraordinary. Your story has everything; intrique, murder, mystery, coming of age, travel, etc etc. It's every bit as entertaining as a Ludlum, Brown or King. I can't imagine how much effort it must take to research and verify the facts you so skillfully weave into the story, how one can coordinate what you said in chapter one, a year ago and still have relevance in chapter 102 is remarkable. Anyway thanks so much for sharing your gift with us, I can't wait for the chips to fall, and oh, by the way thank you Henry for helping to save our two lambs from slaughter, I look forward to a very Merry Christmas reunion indeed!!!
