Our esteemed "queen" of the cliff-hangars author has certainly engendered passionate feelings in his readers. There are a whole host of threads that need to be tied up to bring this story to a successful conclusion. While I have not taken any position on all the brainstorming, analysis of minutiae, and speculation, I do find it interesting. I too would be disappointed if there was not some accountability. Trevor has certainly undergone a lot, including gruesome attempts on his life and karma would call for some balance. Bridget, the dirty cop, Sanchez and his evil cohorts, including the paid asassin B'stoke all deserve bad things happening a whole lot more than anyone in Trevor's family IMHO.

Red cape on the sensitive one who thinks outside the box. What is the chance he ignores a cry for help or some other enticement to leave the path! High I bet. Now which of the hidden world races snares him? And for what purpose. Lots of questions. Hopefully, the wait will not be long. Good job!

Given J.P.'s reaction to the SE Asia debacle in the '60's, could it be any less for the S.W. Asia debacle that Bush-Cheney got us into? I could see J.P. being ok going after O-B-L in Afghanistan, but getting us into Iraq is going to really raise his ire. His entire extended family will be fully informed by his incisive acumen. You also are also right about Claremont and the right wing. Way too much of America has bought into that without really doing much thinking for themselves.

So the title character is not? Glory is not Damphir? Sar has overcome his resistance to being imprinted. Interesting penultimate chapter!

A very sexy ending to a very nice chapter. Well done. My only gripe, I had to go back and read 8 to get back into the story. Hopefully the wait for 10 will not be as long!

C94 covered a lot of bases aka characters thanks! So they got to their island hideout late on 12-7 or very early in the morning on 12-8 and went into town on 12-8. Wheels are coming into the picture, and C99 is the big one? I must admit I still haven't a firm grip on where you are going with this. I just hope that karma plays a role and all the fecal material dished out by Sanchez and his cohorts in crime comes back to haunt them bigtime.

OMG we heard about Trevor and Shane, Ned and the coasties, Lisa and Joel, and even the wicked witch in FL as well as B'stoke. The story did mention the river running high in December, but if a specific date was mentioned, I missed it. "Headquarters ordered us to do that, and it’s very much under the prevue of Customs and Border Protection, so I can’t see them having any ground to object.” A prevue is like a preview according to the dictionary. However, methinks you meant purview as in jurisdiction???

Arghhh! I read through this chapter. It held my interest, infuriated me, titillated me and in some ways appalled me. I guess that means the author is doing something right.

Does the "rogue" cop who went out of his area on the night of the attack have a case for libel against the defense attorney? I've said it before, it takes a special kind of arrogance to be an effective trial attorney and your defense lawyer character vindicates my position. Having said all that, I am still amazed that our system of law works as well as it does as often as it does.

Very nice chapter. It was well constructed, utterly believable and properly nuanced. Especially loved when Scot ran for the bag and Charlie's reaction. As to the question how a big guy with big muscles who had one mate likewise built, could fall for a small guy like Charlie, the answer is kismet. Love, like life and most other things, happens.

So 10 more days or so in Trevor time, I'm guessing at least 5 weeks in Goat time? The title of the coming chapter also sounds ominous. B'stoke is beyond malevolent in that he is cunning and a master of disguise as well. His cover as a dealer in security devices is so convenient. The fact that he knows about the "K" is scary. However, finding a well hidden boat even with a plane is still like looking for a needle in a haystack. They could be at sea, or in one of dozens of places along the coast in either direction, but most likely toward Perth. That is one large area with a lot of emptiness.

Loved it! Two soul mates finding each other and being truly joined is always something I like to see. However, knowing the author, I suspect trouble lies ahead.....

"His smile was predatory and I couldn't breathe as his head lowered. The anticipation of what he was going to do had me on the brink of orgasm and we were both still fully dressed. I felt the scrape of his fangs down my neck and my hands came up and locked into his shirt at his back, holding him close so he couldn't pull away again" The above quote was near the end of chapter 2, just before the knock at the door interrupted the first bite..... Only earlier, Ellis woke up and didn't have any pants on and when he asked Dav showed him his pants neatly folded. So just how "fully dressed" was he? It's just a quibble, I really like the story so far and have a couple more chapters to catch up.

Loved it!

For a real long sea saga, try the Hornblower series; while it's not completely straight, its not too overtly gay either. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_17?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=hornblower+series+complete+set&sprefix=Hornblower+series

Would that more pieces would fall into place at dizzying speeds like junk from space!

Well Rocky and Bullwinkle they are not, but as far as the plan to trap whomever came after Trevor's boat, "Curses, foiled again!" The cover as a security salesman is too good and B'stroke got another pass. Meanwhile, nothing yet in this chapter providing an actual date so we lowly readers would have some better fix on the timeline. Poor Trevor (and Shane) have a professional assasin on the hunt who is resourceful as well. Still nothing on Lisa and Joel or the she devil and her crooked cop friend.

Dirk got Jim to go out in drag as I recall. I'd say that's pretty gay. While I don't recall CJ describing any great make-out scenes between Dirk and Jim, the clear impression was that they had a gay relationship. As usual, I didn't read any great mystery into it and must confess the level of speculation in CJ's forum is intense!

Working 6 years and you only get 1 week vacation a year? Sounds lame. Having your vacation denied sounds lamer. Hopefully, you otherwise really like your job and interacting with the public.

To me the biggest news was that Devon apparently plans to take the move to Chicago along with the kids. That's the bottom line. Instead of dealing with that and contacting his attorney, Coop decides to assuage his feelings. While the scene with Chase was hot, and Chase played it just right, it still felt somewhat manipulative. The fearless foursome (five with Winston) scene was indicative of all their longstanding foibles. Coop may not understand it all, but perhaps even he is beginning to understand it is all getting a little stale. Coop having Kyle for his personal attorney is a problem. Kyle is not someone Coop can rationally deal with and he needs to have an attorney that can give impartial advice. The subplot with the review of the book by the U and Coop's complete caving sounds suspiciously like a priori censorship. Morals clause or not, consenting sex among adults is no longer illegal in this country.

Well thought out venue for tying up some loose ends by going back to the seer. The scene back at Vik's lair was hot! Thanks for your story Renee!

I was struck with the number of female authors who write boy on boy stories in this venue. Now there is the question of a straight narrator with straight sex. My answer of course, is that if it is well written, has good pacing, and adds some illumination to the human condition, whether straight or gay, young or old, black or white or asian, then of course I would read and enjoy it. A good story is a good story. We call history, history because it is our story. I like that GA has a collection of authors, with varying backgrounds from locales around the world. We are a human family. Whether gay, straight, bi or transgendered, we share some basic DNA, some soul and hopefully some joy. In the ocean of the universe, we are are on this one shiny little blue planet filled with life. We should all treasure it. And each other.

Everyone has a past. Someone Scott's age is bound to have had other love interests in the past. Charlie had a girl friend for years! While your past may come back to bite you if you let it, most move on and let it go. Obviously, Scott got a painful reminder about his past and from the chapter description it bothered him. He has shown good sense in the past with Charlie and I have faith he can deal with it and Charlie like an adult. A well written chapter. Hospital surgery waiting rooms are in a different universe where time moves much slower and more ominously. No one who has been through the experience ever wants to sit through another episode as they are draining. Lucky for Charlie this one had a happy ending.

He claimed he didn't make the name up, but he must of scoured the Western Australian geography for months to come up with a goat island! Of course they couldn't hide behind it and had to journey further upstream because no one could ever successfully hide behind a goat! (Why do I feel a head butt coming on?)

A quick release or a connection? f**k-buddies or jerkoff buddies? I have questions, but no answers and sometimes the questions are the answers....
