What does one do when odds are overwhelmingly against you and you have nothing to lose?.This latest book in the Carter Saga by Topher Lydon answers that. The Carters ,their friends and allies having been brought so low in the last series make a stand and what follows is a beautifully written 39 chapter character driven political action thriller.This is a must-read gem of a book .

This chapter was such a welcome for me after the personal hell of a week I just had ....Thank you! That election like @drpaladin said was indeed a nail biter..I was feeling the same way I felt the real night of 5th November 2024...Knowing anything not blue was going to be bad news for the world...Am glad this didn't happen.. That sequence of the Carters reuniting was just so beautiful.. I re-read that thrice..It was that superb.. The last part of the chapter however is what makes this chapter the Magnum opus of this whole book for me..The way you captured West's emotions and fears on pending fatherhood.. that was gold...You showed that even the most stoic can mellow on hearing the news of being a first time parent like West did .The part where he collapses due the overwhelming good news was just so award winning piece of writing for an emotional scene... Like Peter told the Dr.Ishikawa, God help them all and us when those triplets finally make their appearance ..I find myself wishing one of them is a girl..she would temper the madness in that particular household . Huey, Duwey and Louie had me cackling like a hyena..Only Peter would come up with such madness...I can almost hear him shouting at them when they mess up😉🤣 I almost forgot to talk about the beautiful relationship and evolution of Jared MacMillan and Caleb Henderson ...Those two men have gone unnoticed by others in this book but personally I rate them among the most beautifully written of this series..Especially Caleb..His character arc was so rich and well written...I like to believe personally that he,Tommy/Jake, West/Peter and Ned carried the book for me We started this book on a bleak note...and we end it on a high note. Thank you for this awesome and beautiful piece Mr.Lydon.

@vanalas...I swear this is too much ...You can not keep doing this to us ..You drop a chapter as bleak as this and then you are going to 'disappear' again for who knows how long🤣😉.. That being said ....I somewhat anticipated this chapter to end this way when I read the sequence of Dean and his mother ...the timing couldn't not have been any worse for Dean to finally confess his feelings... Sophia impossibly becomes worse with each new chapter that you post.....That woman is the devil's incarnate I swear ! Good to have you back @vanalas

Okay...the Micah/Killian situation is starting to boggle me down.😉...Am sure @Josh Aterovis is having a mean good old time laughing when he reads our comments concerning that particular situation. That being said my long awaited section of Jacy/Fletcher/ Killian has happened ..Cannot wait so enough to see how it goes... Just in case @Summerabbacat...come here we first shake some sense in our procrastinating Killian lad🤣🤣

Got it...thank you!

Need a clarification with something if you don't mind.... In this chapter you mentioned Jacob being 16...I thought they are age mates with Tommy at 15..

Good morning ...that coffee seems wicked🤣

That reunion was three years in the making...and God was it worth it!..The carpet and the desk were definitely good witnesses🤣.....Is it me or was Agent Clarkson flustered?. That being said ...what Will told Trump is right....Heavy is the crown....One has to keep making concessions...heavy concessions..

Am just glad that Killian will be crossing paths with Jace/Fletcher....Have been waiting for this book to happen ..for Killian to meet folks who are supernaturally tinged..hehe

This Tommy centric chapter shows that sometimes heroes are not loud....That they come in small,studious and bespectacled packages!

Good morning....no night long car alarms this time I hope

Damn..!....you disappear for a while and you come back to drop such a bomb on us🤣🤣...This is class I emotional torture... That being said ...it's good to have you back!

This chapter was crazy stuff!..Sometimes ,when am quiet after reading a chapter, I wonder what the real life Orange man-child would do if he got a chance of reading this story..😀...The way you have aptly captured him in writing in this series is just so on point...The bluster , the ineptitude ...everything so well captured. Thank you!

This chapter is all about growing pains .eh

Good morning to you Sir.. Sorry about the car alarm being a nuisance.

Finally....this is getting pretty interesting. ..Jack charmed a goddess ..oh your little minx🤣. That being said..I have a feeling things are going to become a lot more perilous for them.

She is a she-devil that needs to be taken down..hihi

I swear....Sophia !!

His delusion of grandeur is something else

I had not considered that angle...Since the US is the only country that has ex-presidents being called by addressed with the title...

Oh no...the Orange clown actually okayed it....you go back and reread the Mar-al-lago sequence of the previous chapter...I could be wrong .... The little diabolical miller whispered into Trump's ear

It's the small matters that always end up being important... That French Lieutenant could just have placed the Carters in peril... And that young American corporal could just have upended their mission. That being said...I like to believe being a soldier has to rank up there with the most 'problematic' professions....Where you have to follow orders/make decisions that are against one's morals. Thank you!

Blimey!....I wish tomorrow could get here sooner.....the feeling of realising that your 'invisibility' is just an illusion must be a terrifying one..

I reckon the Orange man-child is going to have one mega apoplectic fit!.....I would give anything to witness Miller's realisation that his dastardly plan has been thwarted .hihi

Good morning Sir..
