I have not read the previous chapters, but I found this to be very interesting and exciting. Having a list of characters is very helpful.

Thanks Max! If you ever have a couple of minutes, chapters 1 and 2 could give you good insight. 1 in an introduction, and 2 is one long back-story. Regards, Bill
Comment from Rama Rao
An excellent chapter which moved the story forward at a rapid pace. The scene at the warehouse was well described. My interest in the story is growing.
However, may I suggest a few minor corrections?
The other car pulled up in a perfectly executed arrival-I think there is nothing like a perfectly executed arrival' Justin time or in a cinematic fashion would be better.
He looked to have a slight head cut and was bleeding- seemed in place of looked?
There is no such thing as a totally predictable situation. -There is no tailor made situation or there is no text book situation.

I love it when the rookie does something wonderful like this. It makes for a great bit of emotion knowing that they're the hero in the scene. Great job.

Good interesting characters here and the story moves quickly. Enjoyed the last bit especially when Terry pulls him out of the explosion. Good attention to detail. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Sally Carter
Another exciting chapter, Bill, though as I confessed before, I have got in a muddle over the drugs side of things. But then, this is a woman who struggles with a road map, so it's no big deal.
There are a few places where I think you could make the story even more exciting by using more active verbs. For instance, when they are breaking into the building you say that Stan "pushed" the door open and bounded into the room. I was kind of imagining he might do something a bit more forceful than pushing it, perhaps kicking or smashing or flinging - you get the idea. Not that it isn't full of action already, but perhaps still room for more.
In the second para, I believe it should be that he coughed for "effect".
4th para, there is a slight typo on "Lael".
Your book is building up well, Bill. Can't believe you are already on chapter 10. It's going fast!
Best wishes
Sally

I have to tell you, that after reading one of the "blue" posts today, I started to say that because he was still thinking about looking at Nikki's butt, he shoved the door in, based on some leading anatomy, but nawww ... just not me. I do appreciate your support Sally!

Comment from Soledadpaz
'Terry beamed' should be outside the quotation marks, no?
That was a great last line. Nice progression to the story. You are giving more insight into the characters and what makes them tick. It makes the story more engaging.

Bill,
chapter ten of Redemption is action packed and extremely well written. There is never a dull moment in your writing. I really like Dax, he's a no nonsense man and a straight shooter. I really enjoy his sarcastically dry humor in this statement: "In any event, he was released from the DEA, and I'm pretty sure he didn't get the gold watch." Terry and Stan are lucky they didn't blow up because of the trip wire. Scott rushes around to find Stan on top of Terry. You did an excellent job on chapter ten. I look forward to your next chapter. Have a great day.
Melissa.

Comment from anabelle
OMG! They almost blew themselves and the whole lab up. Crazy! What do these people think they're doing cooking up dangerous stuff like that. Don't they consider what the product will do to those they sell it to?
Good read. Thanks.

bhogg:
so, there is something to be said for things
learned in school, after all -- I would think
a team made up of experience and freshly-schooled
officers would provide the best of both worlds
thanks for sharing
I am enjoying this novel
love,
jan

Thanks Jan - you say such kind things! I've never been a policeman, but the mix you allude too probably wouldn't hurt any work environment! Regards, Bill
