Your descriptions of things taking place beyond his ken by Doctrex's
speculations leads me to wonder-how many of his guesses are as
inaccurate as mine generally are? Then Rheuther's laugh at the end..
now what? Excellent.

Hello Jay Squires,
Nice piece of Fantasy Fiction in continuation and beautifully carrying forward the story!
Transparent description of the scenes and situations.
Wording is impressive and perfectly matching the theme.
Smooth and captivating flow throughout with lively imagery at some places.
The last two-three paragraphs are making the end catchy and motivating the reader for the next part - An excellent hook!

    Thank you so much, not just for the six and the kindness, but the obvious depth at which you read my story and your eloquent articulation of your review.

Conspiracies have a bad habit of coming apart at the seams. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. Will the plan work?

    I've been wasting a ton of words (over a 1000 pages of 'em) if it doesn't work. Keep your fingers crossed, Charlie. And thanks for staying with me for (I believe) the entire three books. Right?

Hi Jay,

The first section was expertly told through Doctrex's thoughts. very well handled. Commentary and motivation explored in a very deft manner without sounding like an information dump. Excellent write.

A good choice to continue with Glnot's return to break the internal dialogue of the piece.

Also a great place to end the chapter, leaving the reader with the same slight sense of confusion as Doctrex.

Excellent stuff

You're a part of it. Have a seat ." - delete space after seat.

G'day Jay. I have to tell you Sir, that even though I have missed so much of this book, after reading from the start, it was so easy to catch up. Your writing, along with the notes you so elequently wrote helped me to get back on track with you.

You are by far the best author on Fanstory and it is always a pleasure to read your work. There is never a word out of place and this chapter is no exeption. What a great chapter buddy.

Cheers Fez

    Lol, do you know you called me "buddy", Mate? Again, LOL, thanks, Fez, for reading this and for your high compliments. A good thing to hear before climbing in bed with my muse. I'm too old to do anything with her but listen how the chapter could have been improved. Thanks, again, Fez.

Good stream of consciousness summarizing Doctrex's self satisfaction and fantasy. I also like the reaction to himself: [I rolled to my side and propped myself onto my elbow to drink, though I found it difficult to pour down the water through a smile. I managed with nothing spilled, returned the glass, and then bent down a flower stem to breathe in the fragrance. Axtilla ...] You imply hubris very well.

This episode has a lot of tension going this way and that, social tension, military tension, sexual tension, anticipation. You do a good job of bringing Rhuether in to amplify it, then cliffhang on it.

Good writing, Jay!

    Many thanks, Robert. Wow! THanks for the six stars. I was worried about this chapter being too cerebral for three-quarters of it.

    I think it works because he's thinking to himself about active issues. It's not the narrator info-dumping, but the concerns of the main character. And it all sticks to the story problem. No fluff. The way you handled it makes it interesting. I think. One of my favorite pieces of yours.
