    Part 10.

    Reminds me of the movie 'Total Recall'. A handy ability to have. This was a feel good chapter, almost like a lull, before the storm. Thank you.

    Part 9.

    So the prediction was spot on. The attack was stopped, with no dolphins lost. However they (the bad guys)are now warned and I think their next attack will not be so easily foiled. Great chapter, thank you.

    Part 8.

    Attungu - A high place. I can see how this story was named. Then there is 119 year old Akama, most likely a Wajarri Yamatji. Thus suggesting that Wirrin has indigenous australian genes. A kindred spirit. You weave a captivating tale. Great chapter, thank you.

    Part 7.

    The AIs think logically. Wirrin being human is able to think outside of that box. He has the ability to ask the right question, not just the logical one, to derive at a solution. He has impressed the AIs yet again. Great chapter, thank you.

    Part 6.

    Getting their implants ten plus years before they should have and advanced ones to boot. First to talk to a dolphin. Now going to basically address all of Attunga along with Sonic. No not your average every day trio of boys, not at all. Great chapter, thanks.

    Part 5.

    From cubicals to a custom designed and furnished home. On the waters edge with dolphin access. I guess the first human pod should get special treatment. Sonics giving of his first fish shows just why the AIs are treating Calen and his trio in this exceptional way. Great chapter, thank you.
  7. None of you has yet to offer a comment on what Granger himself said. That in order for the Spanairds to have known that he was coming for a couple of months before he got this far, seemed to indicate a warning had gone out before he even sailed. That would seem to put it very high up in the government.

    Part 4.

    In one short meeting our trio have gone from boys to men with careers and seeing a dream come true. This just gets better. Thank you, great chapter.

    Part 3

    Confusion taken care of, thanks. Now to find out why the dolphins think our trio (pod) are so special. Great chapter, thank you.

    Part 2.

    I'm a little lost here. I thought they were going to go see/talk with the dolphin. Perhaps this meeting with their Mentor will clear some of my confusion up. Interesting chapter, thank you.

    Part 1.

    I get the impression that the boys are special for some reason (to the dolphins). What would a dolphin consider so important as to require a meeting. I think I am really going to like this story. Thank you.

    Chapter 32

    The Battle of Valdivia is now in the history books, his ships are crewed. Calvert has seen the light and is back on board(of his own ship). Now the Odyssey continues. I simply love this story, thank you Mark.

    Chapter 31

    It was all to perfect to not have a bit of drama at the end. Will this be the break up, or will they kiss and make up? I'm guessing the latter. Now what is acting Commodore Lord Granger going to do, we really need that next chapter ASAP. This was a good one, thank you.

    Chapter 30

    All the English and American prisoners freed, Humphreys and FitzWilliam back on board (yay). Two of the three privateers taken care of. A frigate added to his fleet. Is it possible all of his bold plan will be successful. If so a name change to 'Lord Lucky' would seem in order. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 29

    I thought Lamb was a marine bandsman (formerly a cut-purse). So far so good, there is that one small detail of about 50 Spanish soldiers outside the gate, a missing native war party, details, details, I know. This not pick on Mark day, we just need more, please. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 28

    How did they know he was coming, very troubling. Another bold plan,one that would capture him a fort, free prisoners, arm the natives and increase his new fleet to three ships. Typical Granger always thinking outside of the box. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 27

    The Cape did its best, but a stout ship, good seamanship and a bit of luck saw them through. No one could have been following them, yet just into the Pacific there appears to be a ship shadowing them. Some answers are needed and capturing that shadow would seem to be the solution. Great chapter, thank you.
  18. http://www.hark.com/clips/jpfxxvdtwk-the-shadow-knows The Shadow Knows, what evil lurks in the minds of men (or Mark). The last bone thrown was to the old carpenter, Woodworth, in 'The Gunroom'.

    Chapter 26

    An allie and leader of his people, who knows the area and defences of the Spanish Granger will be attacking, lucky or what. A handy lesson, that demonstration of power with the misguided Spaniard, told the crew that their Captian was in complete control and ready to use it. Rogue waves and Williwaws, great stuff. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 25

    With Rio behind him(handled to the best of his abilities), now the great adventure towards the unknown begins. Sending notes to his children was a nice touch. O'Higgins a Master's Mate, now that really is the luck of the Irish. To top it off, rescued from the Spanish, a mysterious prisoner. In the back of my mind I'm hearing an old tune from WWII, just bits of it, something about ' The White CLIFFS of Dover '. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 24

    George has Calvert, Somers and Andrews brain storming this. Now add in da Colmas' take on it. What ever he does will have consequences and it all comes to rest on his shoulders. The King and Privy Council have given him a task requiring the strength of Samson and the wisdom of Soloman to accomplish. Great chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 23

    As all this intrigue unfolds around him, the enormity of what the Privy Council has saddled him with, is sinking in. He will be earning his pay (and any prizes he takes) on this trip. Great chapter, thank you.
  23. Of course he will be last. You and I voted that way and with 125 years of accumulated wisdom behind us it is a sure bet. The only possible monkey wrench to this, is the fickle author of this tale (no offence intended Mark). Ricky, kindly no remarks about possible senile dementia, thank you ever much.

    Chapter 22

    So, first there was Major Vincent van den Boss, followed by Colonel Jamie da Gama, then Colonel Juan Manuel de la Ventura and now Colonel da Colma. I like your idea Mark, that all work and no play would make George a dull boy (and he certainly isn't that). So now he has a problem Viceroy and a British Consul who appears to be in cahoots with and related to Maidstone. The plot thickens, a wonderful chapter, thank you.

    Chapter 21

    A nasty gram to Lisbon, to stir up the pot, a good start. A prize, hopefully just the first of many more to come. O'Higgins, with his knowledge, this could be just the edge Granger needs. Secret Orders????? To top it off, this Viceroy in Rio does not appear to be well disposed towards our Captian. Suprise, suprise. More please. Thank you.
