That Howe would volunteer another of his nephews to Grangers care, is telling. It must have irked George to have to by extension also defend Colpoys who was probably the one who leaked to the papers. But then again, it did get him a full crew. Great chapter, thanks.
Arthur and Holmquist, who would of thought it. Granger must have that speech memorized by now. Lets get this show on the road and get the heck out to sea, please. Great chapter, thank you.
Freddie asking a favour, WOW. Spencer setting him up, OUCH. Holmquist back in the fold, YAY. So much for adoring fans, fickle bunch. But, a full crew. Great chapter, thank you.
Not the most exciting chapter, but a lot of back ground on the mutiny and the mind sink of those Lords of the Admiralty, not a good mix. So Davina is with child, but whose? I guess only time will tell, if even then.
Bacchante is crewed at last. It is hard to imagine the seamen not having a pay raise in 140 years, Literally generations and generations. A man would of earned the same as his grand or great grandfather. It boggles my mind. Great chapter, thank you.
Caroline is happy. George is happy with the plans for his island house. Somers back on board for this new adventure. Then Georges' concerns about tomorrow are laid to rest by Cavendish and their conversation. What a positive chapter, thank you.
Are the carronades included in the 38 guns or are they extra, same question for the bow chasers.
So, Weston someone new, Robey someone known and adding to the pot a one handed, pigtailed and tattooed sailor. Throw in a royal herald and stir.
Great chapter, thank you.
So, a peace accord with Prince William. A voyage with an unhinged Arthur to the Far East and then a return with a most unhappy Bertie. Many blanks filled in and a much needed reunion with Cavendish.
What a great start to this new adventure,
CJames
Thank you for one of the best reads ever. Happy for an ending with answers to all. Sad to not have a chapter to look forward to.
Best wishes,

I am sure that my confusion is temporary, that all will become clear (I hope). Hamish is starting to demontrate abilities, maybe along the lines that Paul has? More please, thanks in advance.
I tried to scan and import some Sphinx photos, no luck so far. It scary but I find myself agreeing with Ricky re Winkler. Having looked the Sphinx in the eye I have often wondered myself about that. Here is something I found on it.

Great chapter, thank you. Well he once disguised himself as a French seaman, it is not a stretch to imagine him in a French officers' uniform on a secret mission.
Stellar
By all means, sequel first. I usually go back to read a story again several years later. Yours I have already started to. Thanks for saving the kitten. I will let you know the count of that 2 / 14 thingy.
Regards,

Everything every one has said times ( X ) ten. The beginning pulled me in. The chapters lead me ever on. The end was satisfying to the extreme. With a little taste what might come. I will wait as long as it takes for more of your artistry. Best wishes and many thanks.
And then there were three. One door closes, another opens. Most important, humans are still there and in control? Why does this story have to end? Thank you ever so much.
Two down, one not of this universe, the other bred, born and died here. What are our two becoming? I refuse to look ahead ( 20 & 21) until this is sent. Great chapter, thank you.
I think 4 plus days of no posting in this forum is a depressing silence. Especially when I glance over to 'The Darkside' and see a veritable festival of interaction. While I would take a chapter a day from you, you would spoil us. Then when the real world reared its ugly head (as it must eventually) the withdrawl pains (the whining) would start again. Slow and steady, if you please, thank you.
I posted before I realized there was a new chapter awaiting me. I also was tracking the time to his second epaulette (darn). I have ridden there and in the Sinai on camel. As mentioned, the dry heat and that damn sand got in every where. The flies were everywhere (the unofficial National Bird of Egypt), you just get used to them. I really enjoyed this chapter, thank you.
I think Granger is going to need his backup (J & J) sooner than later.
This continuing silence is depressing. Here is a song I first heard over 40 years ago. Could we call it a musical interlude?
