Wow! You're really hitting your stride with this chapter. Exciting. You almost scared me with the description of the Arbiter. And the coming together of Shay, Mira and the Arbiters in Yugan's dream? mind? Thanks and hope chapter 5 comes sooner.
-
So glad to see the new chapter but have to confess that I needed to reread the previous 5 to get back up to speed. It is a good story and was glad to see the twins rescued. Is Daryl making an awfully fast recovery? My hope is that they will all stay there in control of the money and burn Brian's ass/ Merry Christmas.

I "quite frankly don't give a damn" what Clara and Wally think or feel. I have never liked them. (Perhaps the snob in me). All they seem to do fairly well is breed. I have difficulty thinking of Will as a young boy. I this was sci-fi he could be a five hundred year old man trapped in Will's body. At dinner and afterwards he was like a master puppeteer manipulating all these people who are older than he. A fine chapter. Happy Thanksgiving.

So glad you're back and that your tension level hasn't reduced. That opening encounter with aliens is about as exciting as our language is capable of. It is good to know that Shay and Mira have arrived safely, but will be glad to finally see them again. The last line indicates that not all is a serene and peaceful as the Premier paints it.

Just beautiful. More words would just be clutter. Thanks you, and more, please?

It's Halloween time, 2013. Looking for something to read yesterday, came across this and decided to try it on again. Just as good, if not better, than the first time.. I have read Gordy three times, one of those few things that just keeps calling out for a reread. In my opinion you rank right up there with Mark Arbour and C. James.

I couldn't ask for a better ending? Beginning? Will look forward to Rune and Luke.

You summed up the entire saga in the conversation between JP and Brad. Just beautiful. I was personally struck by JP's remark about losing Mouse. Three years ago my partner of 52 years died after ten years of sinking into the nothingness of Alzheimer's. It is a relief when some are freed from burdens. Thank you.

Chapter 1 - The Bear Named Bear
stanollie commented on Cole Matthews's story chapter in Chapter 1 - The Bear Named Bear
Clever! Clever! Nice story and I like the writing style. As a U of M alum from back in the dark ages you had me hooked with "Loring". -
The Man with the Velvet Voice
stanollie commented on Thorn Wilde's story chapter in The Man with the Velvet Voice
Felicity is one of those words, almost unique, lovely. You used it early on and the rest of the chapter just flowed from it. Thank you. -
Thank you, Mark. Particularly for your comment following the first review that there are no miracle survivors. Thousands of lives, lights, hopes were put out by the original tragedy. Having a fictional character survive would be insulting to those who lost their loves. Your sensitivity, Mark, is one of the reasons for my continued reading from the beginning. Thanks

First of yours that I've read and it was a delight. I will look at your other things later tonight.

The two lovely boys being taught and trained and watched over by the Old One. Just beautiful. I would like to see more. Thank You.

Only one appropriate word, THANKS

just finished Jake's Hand andJake's Side, and am still in awe of the way you worked with the two points of view. Nothing seemed at all repetitious. Frequently when reading work that I enjoy I have the feeling that there is going to be a line or a paragraph that will entrap me. It happened twice in this opus. The sudden coming on the mountain, the meadow and the lake had me almost breathless. Then the train returning from Vancouver. I could hear the clickity-clack and was back when my dad would take me on trips and going to sleep to the sound of the wheels on the rails. Just memories now of a time when train travel was fun and luxurious. Thanks.

Since learning to read I have immersed myself in adventure and suspense stories. I don't mind cliffhangers. They're lifeblood for us suspense addicts. What I most admire about your story is that you kept the level of tension high and taut from Suez to the pirates, around Australia and now this. BTW I am glad Bridgett had some real final pain. Waiting patiently for the end and probably PTSD.

I am liking the parent Howards more after every appearance. Mrs. Howard is the more impressive thinker. Her evaluation of the "grandfather" incident was telling. I am sure we will hear the significance of the White Light as the story moves on, but I am impatient. Thanks for the good chapter. Johnny

I thought I would need hospitalization after this one. CJ, I am trusting in your good nature that all four survive. We can't have come this far only to lose one.
-
I was almost in pain this morning with the end of Book I of Dreams, but then you brought forth this new adventure. I have been in love with Pern for years. If anyone can do this justice I know that you can. But Please, don't wait too long for a return to Garrett, Neal, Billy and all. Those Earthers need comeuppance.
-
That was, there is no better word, difficult. Science is extending our life spans but not improving their quality. I have lost dear ones to Alzheimers, lost for years in dementia, none of us able to know what they know or feel. We should all be able to make the final decision as Lily did. Thank you for letting her die within her little commune.

Real excitement, a nail-biter. Just what we have come to expect from you, Mark. Great chapter.

False Hopes and The End of the World
stanollie commented on C James's story chapter in False Hopes and The End of the World
Another nail-biter. I've been chewing them regularly and will have to return to my manicurist after we get the boys home. Great chapter and still in awe of the navigational detail. -
At first glance I see breakups and realignments, but it's more than that. Robbie is distancing himself from the family. At this point I think he could be written out and nobody would be too sad. Brad has always been one of my favorites, but not sure what he is up to. One time fling with Wade could be just horniness, but three times in a few days??? Is he contemplating a break with Robbie and checking the other side of the fence for green lushness? Rather, I am beginning to see more than just sexual attraction to Wade. The age difference isn't great and is not insurmountable. Brad is hardly doddering and Wade could use a father-figure to replace his own. So, I will just sit back and wait for the next chsapter where Mark will sort it all. Before 2001?

The lonnnnnnnnnnnnng history lesson was a bit much. I'll be glad to get back to the war between Bridgett and Trevor.
