This story sucks!

Poor Bud! But he's over the shock and happy now. :-)

And I'm getting more and more concerned that either Jake or Clay isn't going to make it out of this operation alive... :-O

I had to laugh at Clay taking an entire filing cabinet drawer with him. I honestly don't think it would be possible. Anytime I've moved my filing cabinet, I've unloaded every single drawer, including the bottom one, then taken out each drawer and then moved the cabinet carcass by itself. Then the drawers go back in and then the files, a few at a time. Plus, the drawers in filing cabinets are pretty long and awkward to hold onto. Still, it makes an interesting picture, especially using it to knock out Kovac (whose name has changed spelling since the early chapters...) :-)

Ooo! Is Kovac the mole? After all, catching Abbas would be a good thing... Or is he really just desperately stretched to the limit and trying to do his best? Dun, dun, dun!

Man, you're evil! Jake AND Webb, both liking Vera, Vera seems to like both, and making us want both of them to end up with her! Which leads me to worry that you're going to kill one of them off...

You know, it occurred to me when I was reading the baby shower chapter, but I forgot to post it then, that Mac having anything to do with Trish would probably not be a good idea. If the baby looks anything like Harm did, especially as it gets older, Trish would quite probably figure out who the father was and no matter what her maths skills are, I doubt she'd have much trouble figuring out that Mac couldn't possibly have been pregnant when Harm 'died.' Oh, oh!

Harm should be cleaning up, playing poker against Webb. ;-)

Webb: What makes you so sure I have anything?
Harm: It's that smug look on your face. Don't ever play poker, Clay.
Webb: I don't. I always lose.

Quality beats quantity ANY day. Can't remember who the author was but someone had excellent plots but MAN! did they put in far too much detail to the point of tedium. If the plots hadn't been so darned good, I'd have quit reading their stories. They absolutely need help in streamlining their work. And then there are some who have quantity with minimal quality... I gave up on a few authors. Still going on yours... ;-)

Oh, boy! Harm's going to be in BIG trou-ble!

You rat! You absolute RAT! First I'm thinking with a broad grin, 'What's Mac been up to and how did she get what I'm guessing are satellite photos,' and now you've got me worried who's been sending them to her and left me with a cliffhanger! Bet anything it's something to do with that phone call she got way back, just after the funeral, that SO FAR! you haven't told us any more about...

Only one thing to do... click Next.

Wow! This review is aimed more at other reviews than your story...

What a crazy idea that Mac couldn't be promoted. I'm fairly sure, from what research I've done, that promotion times are pretty much the same across the various services. So, anyone complaining about promotions, two things, do you know which part of the US code covers promotions and can you define these terms?

In-zone
Below-zone
Above-zone
Time-in-grade
Time-in-service

If you have to consider what they'd mean, instead of knowing straight away, and don't know what part of the code to look up, stop complaining about promotion times in stories.

At the time this story takes place, Mac has been a Lieutenant Colonel for four years. That gives her sufficient time-in-grade to be up for promotion.

P.S. The section of code is Title 10. Now you can go and do the research yourselves...

To the author: I'm enjoying the story, regardless of the few naysayers.

seriously, i laughed out loud at d rock instead of baby bit :DD
