Bill, I'm reading all of the chapters and they are great! FS has shown you how good they are...I just wanted to add my two cents...would you check out the paragraph that starts out,"There was no need for any further introduction"...I read it as Beth is talking. She says,"How can I...Beth is all I have left"...Don't you mean, Lael? Ignore if I'm wrong. Thank you so much for writing. jane

You are not wrong, and I salute your eagle eye. Hard to believe that got through. Warm regards, Bill
Comment from marcii
Well he had given the guy an option and the guy had to mention his daughter, so he died very painfully and slowly, understandable for a story, don't know how I would feel if this was true life.
This chapter was very good, still great descriptions.

Thank you so much marcii. Not many people take the time to truly catch up. Much appreciated.
Comment from humpwhistle
Once again you demonstrate confidence and purposeful writing. Your ducks are in a row. You know your plot and where it is headed. Most heroes of this genre tend to be a bit more tight-lipped. Dropping clues about their pasts but not going into so much exposition in a single setting.
Just an observation. I'm sure you know what you're doing.
I'll stay tuned.
Peace, Lee

Hi Lee - if I knew what I was doing, I would have to find a new personal motto. "Ignorance Can't Stop Me". Thanks for reading and your great observation. Regards, Bill

Thank you for reading and for your kind words. Writing a book has been a challenge. Most of what I've written have been non-fiction stories, so this is an experiment in process.
Comment from Sally Carter
I enjoyed this very much, Bill.
My - Dax is a man you would want to have on your side, isn't he!
I liked the hint of a romance in the offing. How girly is that? All this drugs and killing stuff, and I am thinking of the romance. Sorry!
I didn't understand this phrase: Is it US terminology?
Can you give her a 10,000 foot level discussion
I get the idea, but never heard it before.
The hard truth about Dax was all the more powerful being explained in such a cosy domestic setting. Softened though by him dreaming about it ever since. A complicated character, and very interesting.
This is turning out a very good book, Bill. Very enjoyable.
Warm wishes to you.

Hi Sally - as always I appreciate your reading and reviewing. It is US termninology. If you were up in the air 10,000 feet and looked down on something, you couldn't tell every detail, just the basics.

Ah, right! Get it now. Very apt now you have explained it. I shall store that one away in my general information file...

Arrrrghggghhh. What a way to die! I found myself cringing when he shot him in the upper leg and then ... well you know. Excellent, Bill.

Bill, this is an excellent, well penned narrative with strong and credible dialogue that flows and reads smoothly. The characterizations are also credible and the storyline interesting. Didn't find any spag errors. very well done, my friend.

If I was them, I'd move him into the main house! Nothing like a guard dog under the roof! LOL.
You write powerfully and clearly. It's a pleasure to read. Pat.

I can feel the tension building. Your characters are very strong and the dialogue is excellent. You held my attention all the way through the chapter and left me wanting more. Great job.

Comment from Thesis
Very good chapter with good character development. The revelation on how Dax dealt with the Ambassador's son was eye opening to the women, probably making them feel better that they had a man who could protect them staying in the barn. - Thesis
