Exterminator96

Another masterful chapter. Thanks. After the last Chapter, I did some research on the actual battle. It is difficult to appreciate fully the hardships that had to have been experienced by sailors of that era. It was interesting to see the amount of prize money that was dividied up. Quite nice when it was converted to todays currency. Again, thanks Mark for a great story. Keep the chapters coming.

Another chapter worth weaiting for!!! Just wondering if the "C" in "CJ" really does stand for CLIFFHANGER!!! The above posts throws out some good speculations. "Gray" is a devious individual that may totally disappear. He seems to have made preparations to do so in the future, but the future may be NOW.

Mark, what can I say? Everyone has covered the chapter very well. But, damn you, another cliff hanger!!!! Just reinforces what a great story you are able to weave and tell. This entire series has kept me riveted to the story line. Thanks for another chapter in a series of great chapters.

Great story as all of your stories are. The twists & turns as well as the cliffs you leave us on. The devious Bridget is once again showing how wicked she is. Wonder what disguise she will use if she does attend the wedding? And will she reveal her identity, then disappear/vanish back into hiding. When the asset list is published, could that possibly alter the contract on both vessels? Inquiring minds wants to know. Totally enjoyed this chapter!!! Keep 'em coming.

Like many of the other readers: I can not get enough of my "Mark -APS" fix. Frequently, I check to see if another chapter has been posted prior to heading to bed late at night or first thing of the morning. The characters are written so well and developed that they have become alive with their personalities. I can almost feel like I am in the hospital room with Matt and Wade as they face this disease. Mark and his staff of advisers/editors do an outstanding job. As we close out this year and go forth, I want to wish them (& his readers) a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

It looks like "John"/Jack was looking out for his own agenda and course curriculum and was pissed that you did not include him. Corner the ba$tard and let him know that he royally screwed up. Wonder if he really was a "friend"?

Mark, great story and series. Enjoyed each section. When will you start the next serial? Can't wait, but guess we/I will have to. Great final chapter with Lark getting what he deserved, a kick in the balls!!!
