There was a lodda history dump in the chapter that filled in a lodda holes. I also don't trust Porvus, but understand the need for a truce. It sounds like Snave is ready for a rematch with Porvus. This time I think Porvus will be stuck in the wood.
The actions and interface of the two AIs indicate that they are independent thinkers with their own personalities. That makes me wonder what they plan to do. I think that Jamie should test how powerful his ghost power is by trying to reach the ring station using it. It seems a no risk situation with a lot to gain. Then maybe he could have a heart to heart chat with the AI there.
I agree that the two AIs are in communication. AIs seem to have their own agenda, and I would think that Jamie might want a talk with one or both. They both want the station repaired. I think they have their own reasons.
The sonnet was lovely. It was like a memory of hiking with my lover through mountain meadows and forests. We knew we were walking trails taken before, but there were times we would forget that as we lookout on wonderful vistas. Sometimes, we knew there was a change that altered the vistas and terrain. These times we would wonder if we saw something new that no one had experienced before standing in the same spot. This poem captures those memories.
When is a zombie not a zombie? It's when Geron Kees gets his hands on it and twists it into something very unique and new. Jeremy and Richie are teenagers leading a group of youths facing an survival in a world that seems both dead and deadly. It is a tale of love, hope, family and survival. You will love the characters that bring adventure, fear, laughter and suspense to life in this story. All the genres listed above hold very true. I'm not a fan of zombie stories, but this story goes way beyond the stereotype to create a very unique and interesting monster. It is one of my favorite books. Read it and be amazed!
A very satisfying ending to an exciting story. I loved all the unexpected twists and wonderful characters. The way you incorporated Jack into the story was very skillfully done. It is a hallmark of your stories that they always leave me with hope. Thanks for this great story Geron!
I was just thinking before I read this that the zombie seemed to be acting like an early hunter gatherer except for the aggression and lack of social norms.
To misquote the bard. "How do I love thy stories? Let me count the ways. I love them to the depth and breadth and height of every twist and turn of the screw." And they all have many of those created when you stir your Weird Sisters' Pot.
OMG! Only six of us here and we're now on page two. I bet it will be up to 6 pages when I wake up in the morning.
I'm with Chris on this one. My only regret is that Max is really nice. Maybe MrsG can set him up with someone. Contrary to kbois, Mrs G has good tastes in men.
I can too. I can even hear them in my mind singing out of tune, "We will, we will rock you!" I'm sure Kyan is silently laughing about how true that is for him.
They are all home and safe. The news Mom is talking is good. After two years of silence, it might take a few days. Hopefully she will get back to normal. I bet she has a lot of things to say, and probably good stories too. The zombie is back, but strangely sedate. What's with that? It is a bit weird that he didn't even seem aggressive or threatening. I don't think it is because of the big boom or he is shy because he's naked.
One more twist to deal with. Max is a great piece of eye candy, a great uncle, gay, a fun sense of humor, single, and well to do! His interest in Perry is something that might shake Kyan up a bit. It is obvious that Max like Kyan, but since Kyan is 'straight' has now set his sights on Uncle Perry who according to Kyan is good looking, loyal, devoted, wholesome and loves kids. Stirring the pot again MrsG?
