GMan!
Well! .... what can I say. You promised me a "Book" and I already hear
the audience calling for "AUTHOR! AUTHOR".
Over the past few years I have been reading principally Biographies, but
you have produced a thriller worthy of John Le Carre with plots and
counterplots, and skulduggery on every page. So enthralled was I, that
I turned to the last page first to see if it had a happy ending.
Given the author, of course it did.
Now, I am carefully going thru it, and making notes and hope to come
back with something cogent in the next coupla days.
