You should get the e-book version so you can have it open in a tiny window on your computer at work.


What?! No! That's a document the boss wanted formatted. Really.

Ordered it last night. I'll have to work it into my backlog somehow.

Chris, have you seen an updated ranking on Larry's book? How's he doing (if you know)?

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

On Amzon, he's been #1 in every category the book is in, from the day of release. I don't have a bookscan account so I can't check those stats.
OUTSTANDING!!! I LOVE hearing good news about one of our own!! Right now, I'm a couple chapters past where you got killed (too bad Mel doesn't get your remains, at least you didn't feel anything - :lol: :lol: ), and I'm diggin' this book! I'm also looking forward to the next MHI book.

I'd say Larry has established a faithful and loyal following and it's growing ALL THE TIME!! If I ever get the chance, I'd love to shake the man's hand for writing such entertainment accurately (or far, Far, FAR more so than the other authors).

Well. That was certainly something. Gotta say this is the first story with a protagonist with heterochromia I've read that wasn't garbage. ...That's an awfully backhanded compliment, come to think of it. Okay, let me put it this way: This book is good, and when either author gets cheesy, the timing is perfect.

On a random note... Criminy, I'm such a nerd. I knew which game Val and Tailor were playing the moment he mentioned a guy with a chainsaw getting him.
