His plan a stunning success and now a chance to lure this frigate back to the convoy and to take her out to, with the Rattlesnakes' guns. Bold as brass, but will his luck hold out. Great chapter, thank you.
A young Captain and a daring plan. A mix for a smashing success or total disaster. So far all is going as expected. Murphys' Law now comes into play, what can go wrong, will go wrong. Great chapter, thank you.
Kiss and makeup, good for George. Now they are cut loose and on their way. Just exactly how to do it, is what he has to figure out. Getting help from men like Hercules, is what a smart Captain should do and makes them a success. Great chapter, thank you.
A relatively quiet chapter, except for the little bit (hah)of tension between George and his 1st Lt. Back out to sea for more adventures, come what may. Great chapter, thank you.
George has a happy crew of shellbacks. He made it to the convoy (and made it with the convoy Cmdr). Now he has a mission (his first) and has to figure out how to accomplish it. Great chapter, thank you.
Quick thinking and a clever ruse, saves the Spanish frigate, without a shot being fired. What a difference from their last experience in provisioning. Then the icing on the cake, a reward of gold for their help. Just the beginning of the voyage and already profits galore. Great chapter, thank you.
You were right, most of my questions were answered. This was a fantastic continuation of Book 1. Now having having completely taken control of my expectations, I fervently hope you carry on with this masterful tale. I and others I am sure have become dependent. Thank you ever so much.
The second shortest chapter and like the first just as meaning full. The forces of Light from three universes are come together as one to do battle with and vanquish the Dark. Their shield is the cause which is just. Their sword is the belief in the right. Let the battle begin. Thank you for this most exciting and interesting story.
Pauls' dream is coming true, being able to finally control the veil he so often cursed for his loneliness. Now they are able to hope for the acceptance they had all wished for. Will there be time enough before events escalate once more? Great chapter, thank you.
The enemy from within has been taken care of. A truly combined op by tri-universe elements. Now they can concentrate with going forward without that distraction. What does the future hold for them, will dreams become a reality? Great chapter, thank you.
This tribute to the fallen, has more than anything else so far, forged a bond between all the parties that will never be broken, a true brotherhood. This chapter was shorter than all of the rest but more meaning full than most before it. Great chapter, thank you.
Everyone is now on the same page. The game plan has been laid out and end goals for each and all identified. With direction in place the big unknown remains how long will all of this take and will all be able to go or be able to find home. Great chapter, thank you.
20 years old and responsible for the whole ball of wax, what could possibly go wrong? I just have to sit back and continue reading, I don't know what to comment on. Great chapter, thank you.
Well at least now there is a chance to open a rift (the right one) to get them home. What is Davis about to lay on them? Questions? Great chapter, thank you.
Paul a Commodore, with his own Fleet, wow. U-2 is really starting to sound like a CSU. Maybe this is just a coincidence (very suspicious). What will Paul do or rather what will Admiral Davis let Paul do? What ever it is will affect all three universes. Great chapter, thank you.
So at this point we elements of two universes on a spaceship of a third universe. One is stuck there for the moment or possibly for ever. One can go back, but back to what, certain defeat. What can Paul of our third universe do to help, if he is allowed to? Questions. Great chapter, thank you.
So Artie is back in the picture. You know, Long and his family sound vaguely like members of Clan Family Short, hmm. Now, Paul is right in the middle of it all and taking control of the situation. What will Admiral Davis think of all this, how will the Fleet respond? Questions. An absolutely smashing chapter, thank you.
I've lost count, but there are still a bunch left to find. Will the bad guys attack again, how many are there? What are Paul and his staff being prepped for, who is behind it all? Questions. Great chapter, thank you.
Poison gas and willing to kill hundreds if not thousands to get who exactly. Paul wasn't close by. Was it against any meta, how did they know? Questions? Great chapter, thank you.
Hmm, Tobor had said there were 16 others in Fleet. So there a few (a lot) more to find. It does seem as if these others are being drawn towards Pauls' group. What is the reason, the purpose of it all? Who(m) is (are) pulling the strings in the back ground? Another great chapter, thank you.
I must remind myself to push that damn spell check button before I push send. No attacks, but his cadre of metas is growing by leaps and bounds. Where to next, is there a promotion (for him), still so many questions, more answers if you please. Great chapter, thank you.
Good grief, three attacks in one chapter. Who ever THEY are, they certianly want Paul or is it Danny (or both) dead, why? Will Paul make Captian, where will they go next? Is this great stuff or what, YES. Great chapter, thank you.
I am the kind of guy who sees a glass as half full ( not empty ). This opening chapter all but confirmed my philosophy. It was everything I was hoping for after CH 12 of your last. Paul has found someone, a son yes, but still, now, he was no longer alone. Thank you very much for this thrilling start.
(2) It's really important that everyone should feel comfortable asking questions in this forum. Sometimes it is difficult to sense tone in written form - we may have some "banter" on here, but its all in good nature and part of a long conversation giving different viewpoints
Kookie, your question was one I was going to ask, but you beat me to it.
Westie, your opinions are always welcomed, viewpoints appreciated and answers highly informative. I for one look forward to your posts. Besides I'm thick skinned. Have a safe trip.
Kookie
I did not misunderstand you. I was mearly pointing out (from past experience) that what you have done, is analogous to having thrown out a bone with plenty of meat still on it to a pack of starving demon dogs (possibly related to a certain author and beta reader). Good luck.
