Thank you for your kind words.

Congrats on your contest win. You deserved it.

Keep up the good work. I will look forward to reading more of your stories.

This story has made into Matt Hiltons anthology, Action:Pulse Pounding Tales Vol 1, along side the likes of Stephen Leather and Adrian Magson.

Review - Though not my genre of choice, I did find this fast paced and easy to read. Development of the story was smooth. Kingsley was my favorite and you fleshed the other character's personalities out well.

You definitely have the language down pat for the era you are writing for. Sentence structure was good. But I did notice you seem to struggle in knowing where to put the periods and punctuation for dialogue. I noticed simply because I'm going through my first professional edit and have the same problem.

I think you have a good, sound story here. Wonderful job. Robynn

The story is now complete and posted here.

I have almost finished the story and will be posting it in full showdown and all in the next couple of days. Thank you for your kind words.

Although not my genre, this is obviously a very well written and intriguing story.

Perfectly edited, excellent grammar, great description, dialogue and character development.

My only problem was that I wanted to read more, I was itching for the showdown...

I am writing this for an anthology of short action stories,does anyone have any familiarity with the 1970s ‘action books’ typified by Don Pendleton’s Mack Bolan: The Executioner, or Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir’s Remo Williams: The Destroyer? Do you remember the UK homegrown westerns by the Piccadilly Cowboys, exemplified by George G Gillman’s Edge, Adam Steele, or The Undertaker? Have you any memory of barbarian swordsmen like Lin Carter’s Thongor, or Karl Edward Wagner’s Kane? Or even the Kung Fu boom, where we had books like Marshall Macao’s K’Ing Kung Fu: Son of the Flying Tiger?

Those were the days when heroes were heroes and the action was furious and full-blooded. Often as not, the hero was quite the opposite: an anti-hero. But he needed to be, to bring the kind of violent justice to villains worse than him. Political correctness took a back seat, even as the bullets and karate chops were flying. Basically it was good old harmless fun. It was a case of disengaging your moral compass and getting down with the hero as they took on all comers, and they did it with balletic grace and uncompromising violence. Gratuitous? Yes. Realistic? No. Great fun? You betcha!!!
