    I would submit that JP and Stef, Isidore and Frank, and Claire and Jack are all together and doing well...at least for right now. 😈

    You’d think you’d finally figure out that the comments are spoilers. 😃. This story is a bit dark.

    So glad you’re back Steve. I had the same feeling about Hornblower and Bush, especially on their escape from France down the Loire.

    I think it’s important because of how fair they’d emphasized they were being when they gave JP the condo. They’d set that up as their principle, then now he’d chucked it out the window.

    I think the age, intellect, and maturity differences between them are what fuels JP’s guilt.

    Thanks! Not a Bonneville...too big for him.

    Always expect the unexpected. 😃
  8. I can’t think of any character in this book who would be a Trump supporter, not even Elizabeth.

    You are implying that I did not check the average number of daylight hours in Riga in January?😃
  10. December 28, 1800 Ursula Arensburg, Courland “We must get a man to von Beckendorf,” Granger told Schein quietly. They were in a small cabin they’d commandeered from the second mate. The guard was above them on the quarterdeck and had shown no inclination to wander through the ship, so Granger felt safe for the moment. That could change in an instant if, when they relieved this guard, they left a new guard who was a martinet in his place. “I am not sure how to do that,

  12. The next chapter should post soon...it’s in editing.
  13. Granger is in editing. He’ll be back soon.
  14. October 10, 2003 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Will I was pulled out of my deep slumber by loud banging on my door. “Will!” I heard my father call. “What?” I asked, without even making an effort to hide my annoyance. “We’re looking for Colin,” he said, but much more nicely, since he knew he’d pissed me off by banging on my door. “We can’t find him.” Colin was sitting up in the bed next to me, spazzing out. “Relax,” I said to him quietly, then spoke louder to

    Thanks so much. This saga does take a lot of research.
  16. October 10, 2003 Bristol, CT JJ “I’ll pick you up on Sunday then?” the driver asked. I looked skeptically at the dwelling that corresponded to the address Carullo had given me. There was a long hideous building that presumably contained individual townhouses, and it was connected at a 45-degree angle to a similar building, forming what was a courtyard of sorts. Presumably parking was in the back. The first floor was brick, while the upper level was covered by a hip roof,

    The very same.
  19. Black Widow October 10, 2003 Escorial Palo Alto, CA Brad For tonight’s big dinner, the table had been rearranged in a way that was entirely different than it had been in the past. JP sat at the head of the table as usual, but Mother and Frank had moved down to his left side, while Stef, Claire, Jack, Mike, Beverly, and I grouped at that end. At the other end, where Mother usually sat, Marie took her place, with the younger crowd arranged around her. Mike’s tw
  20. December, 1800 HMS Valiant Visby, Sweden “Mr. Weston, please have the hands lay aft,” Granger ordered. He stood on his quarterdeck, savoring these last few minutes of command. His eyes took in everything as the whistles blew and the men came scurrying into the waist, while the marines and his officers lined up behind him. Winkler and Jacobs paused by the entry port, waiting for this ceremony to end, so they could start their new adventure. “Hands assembled, my lord,”
  21. He evidently isn’t as fond of the heterosexual kind. 😃
  22. I've got six chapters in process now, so it will last a bit.
  23. October 9, 2003 The Brooklyn Bridge New York, NY JJ I looked at the people in their cars around me, many of whom were honking like idiots, and all of whom were frustrated. I just smiled and relaxed into the soft leather seats of my Maybach, confident that with the dark windows they couldn’t see me while I could still laugh at them. I had the privacy divider up between me and the driver to more fully enjoy my rolling cocoon, so it was no surpris

    I consider Odyssey to be my best of this series.
