Just a note, disregard my first sentance in the story review of The Gunroom. George had seen death before, but this midshipman was his up and close first personal one. I am sure there will be others, however the first one will always remain vivid in his mind. Georges' wound was so close to an eye. I guess that would make him lucky from a another point of view. Where will he end up after he recovers? This was a great start to the further adventures of our hero, thank you.
Mark I enjoyed the first book, but this one was the best. I only wish that it would have been longer. Your ability to spin a tale and draw us into it was masterful. Well done and thank you.
Helping to capture a Corvette and now his promotion to Lt, life is good. Murphy's Law says if something can go wrong it will. What does the future hold for (no longer acting) Lt Granger? Great chapter and ending to part II. I look forward to his further adventures, thank you.
His first real action and two ships captured, a great career starter. Then to add frosting to the cake, a cruise with John. Life is good (while this lasts). Great chapter, thank you.
George is 3rd Lt and has his own midshipman, boy, where has the time gone. Now he has crossed that line with the Captian (a hanging offence). Add to all of this he met his possible future wife. This was a jam packed chapter, thank you.
Travers a Commander, inspite of his father. George a Lt, albeit acting for now. Things are starting to move rather quickly. How will George handle this separation? Will absence really make the heart grow fonder? Great chapter, thank you.
Two Warrant officers, Two Midshipmen, the 2nd Lt and now the Captian, not to mention a heir th the Throne of France. I don't know, but for someone who was trying to curb his behavior, this would be an impressive list even for Giacomo Casanova. Now, you toss in Bertie to further stir the mix. Great chapter, thank you.
What a complete reversal of roles (George / John). Travers may well have a chance (future) now in the navy. Winkler I guess is going back to sea with them. Great chapter, thank you.
Straight from the horses' mouth (no offence intended Mark) so to speak. The adventure(s) will continue, Yay, thank you. Now we just have to get this story back up to sixth or better. Come on shipmates, review your little hearts out.
It sounds like once Winkler was wounded, if I understand what paid off means, he was let go from the ship. Now robbed and reduced to begging for food. Granger, bless his heart, has given him a new lease on life. Now that is a Christmas present to be proud of. Great chapter, thank you.
The first of (I hope) many battles to come. Tested under fire, Granger was the warrior that his father thought he could be when needed. Wilcox gone, good riddance. Great chapter, thank you.
George has settled in. He is learning his job and his love life seems to be on track. With the exception of Wilcox all is good. This must mean something has to go wrong in the next chapter. Great chapter, thank you.
Quite the chapter, George got to lay a demon to rest. Now seems to be on the verge of serviving his first brush with death and being a hero to boot. Great chapter, thank you.
And this is the young man who stood on the quay in the beginning so worried about his big secret. I think you have set the tone for the rest of this story. Great chapter, thank you.
He is getting along with his Lt, with one of his two fellow midshipmen and charmed the Captian ( with his flute & french ), All in all he is off to a good start. Great chapter, thank you.
Great ending and you have left all of those needed in place to carry on with your next offering, Courier. What kind of a message or messanger could warrant a story named after it (or him)? Make that soon, soon please. Great chapter, thank you.
Are Mason, Seth and Shawn part of the Bishops' group (the bad guys), they don't come across as such. Where exactly are they headed and why? We need more answers! Great chapter, thank you.
Suddenly he has hundreds of cousins here, but back home there appear to a hundred or so cousins working for the other bad guys. This is getting complicated fast. Great chapter, thank you.
