The story just gets better and better....I only fear that you will get bored and bring an end to a wonderful series. I hope that you can keep the story line going for quite some time. I really enjoy the way you tie the characters together and keep excitement following. To a master, I say Thanks.
thank you for this ride. i'm not a writer,but a reader.your stories give us disabled vets something to do.
your story is great your writing style is fabulous I just wish you could write faster I really hated waiting for this. (I know not much of a complaint is it.) You did not disappoint me though and I know that to write like this takes time and if you rushed it to satisfy us avid readers well the story would suffer so I will be patient and wait for the next installment.
IS IT DONE YET
This is better then real life. Every guy want's to be Steve, every girl wants to be Gwen. Please keep up the good work !!!!
don't worry about a reality check, just go with the flow, ride the crest of the tsunami, and smile as the gaggle of females grows, Steve becomes more perfect, and LiR takes over the world.
just read and enjoy.
did the kids get their diplomas? it doesn't matter they graduated
did Steve save Sparta from another terrorist attack that was targeted because of him? yup, but that just adds to the drama
could all this make starting at Annapolis difficult as a lowly Plebe? sure, but that just means he will be quarterback his first year.
lol
I'm reading this story just after a horrific 'terror' attack in my second hometown of Manchester, England. I am seeing the visions coming out of Manchester showing the people united against hatred. All colours and all religions condemning the attack and condemning those who would use the tragedy to stirrup hatred and violence.
Much like your Spartans are doing.
What's happening in Manchester gives me a lot of hope for the future!
The whole town loves Steve and Gwen for being heroes. But, the reason for all these attacks is....wait for it.....Steve and Gwen.
Hhhmmmm
What happened to Dave Kite,how come he never film the terrorist attack?.Did aliens kidnap him along with Kate's boyfriend Mike who also seems to have disappeared.?
For every new character, the whole spiel about how wonderful the couple are and everyone loves them gets repeated
If Officer Cline's was injured by an IED and discharged from the marines,how come he got into the police force?.
The persistent anon critic missed his chance to complain that Steve, Tyler and Ted weren't brought up on concealed weapons charges...
By the way, I've done some investigating and it turns out that our "Qwen"-hating anon is none other than -wait for it- the disgraced journalist Bill Hardy!!!!
Some have questioned why Steve attracts so much trouble. Several things, one a better attention to surroundings than some, another is dealing with the first one in Afghanistan sets your nerves and experience to handle things - toughens you up so to speak, a third stuff happens- on a local police force of 900 2 officers are involved in 70% of the car chases. This is due to their eyes being magnetically attracted to stolen cars, the 11pm to 7 am shift so cases are more likely to be authorized, and the area of town they patrol with highways and railroads making a funnel to them. In short it just works that way.
Yea I can’t believe I’m still with this saga. It’s so good. So ridiculously good.
"He tries to compartmentalize things like this. He's a big, strong man and doesn't want to show any weakness or misgivings, but it'll be a long time before he works his way back to his usual easy going self."
Another good reason why we have such a problem with mental health in this country. We ask very difficult things from some people to keep the rest of us safe and those that do those jobs suffer greatly from that and as long as people continue to say "Oh don't worry about it just push it into that deep dark room in your mind and leave it there we will continue to have 22 veterans a day take their own life! It is not a weakness to seek help, it is in fact a very brave thing to do! If you need help with mental health please seek out that help and if anyone you know says your weak because of that then FUCK THEM you don't need those pieces of shit in your life anyway!
I’ll agree with anonymous below. We ask things of our marines, soldiers, sailors, and airmen that we wouldn’t do ourselves. Avery few jump on the woe is me PTSD bandwagon, but most go quiet, they drink a little more, smoke a little more, drive a little stupid. I think of my dad and uncles that served in WWII and Korea. Several of them died before we knew they had Bronze or Silver Stars, a Purple Heart was just assumed that “ everyone has one “ . Behaviors that just seemed different I now know as PTSD. Or Shell Shock or Battle Fatigue. In the oil fields after the war my dad pumped down thousands of gallons of Nitroglycerin without a thought for the old style explosive fracking it didn’t even register to him as hazardous. But some of us while we weren’t there do understand a little and will help how we can.
