Blademaster of Norda By Jacamo Peterson PROLOGUE His Majesty Killian III, King of Keltan was in the small study next to his bed chamber. He was relaxing after a full day at court, the hour was approaching midnight. Suddenly the door from the outer hall flew open without a sound, only an inrush of cool air. The King looked up from the scroll he was reading, to find his younger brother Danell standing there smiling. Well! Danell ! what means this intrusion, so late of an evening? Why! only thy ...

That morning we took our first 10 mile hike together around the inside of the Rosemary’s Point perimeter and along the beach and over the rocks. We had fun. Well, I did. That afternoon, I cleared it with Chu Lai Defense Command to do small arms familiarization firing down on the beach into a sand dune. I brought along ten 1160 round cases of 556 ball and we fired all afternoon. The surfers were not happy about the noise or the ricochets. Over the following ten days, without a day off, we went...

I'm glad that you included the chapter summaries,sort of brought me up to date on the story.I see the journey to thwart the plans of the "Master" continues. The addition of twists and turns in the relationships of the characters is good.Makes them seem more real.adding additional antagonists to the plot such as Selena and Kesar broadens the scope of the story.I have noticed a few grammatical errors, but I'm not going to nit-pick at your work,that's for a good editor to do.I have the same prob...
Sci Fi & Fantasy / For Their Honour
It has good alternate reality settings and feel.The characters are strong but not well enough described or "fleshed out". There should enough discription there to create a mental picture of the person or being.The beginning does grab the attention making the reader wonder where it is going.I think there is the basis here for a good story.

Action Adventure / Groundscore!
I very much liked the story, however it really needs an edit for grammer. The verbage is some times out of context ie: a semi trailor of furniture "tainted" with illegals. You are trying to be too concise,loosen up some on the language. Let the characters speak more in the normal street vernacular of today and your story will flow better. Quite simply,it will be easier to read.It is a good story line. Jacamo
Since I have been away for a while,I found the recap of the chapters to be very helpful to get me back into the story as a whole.That being said, I still find the story interesting. The trials and tribulations of Lauriana and her cohorts on this adventure in a paralell universe, complete with a Master of Evil and his master plan. The story is being presented well, showing the characters strengths and weaknesses. Their interaction with the beings of this "other" world show them to be thinking,...
Having read some of the previous chapters I easily entered back into the story, a good sign.I do like the action as described in this chapter. The sexual attraction of the characters to one another is good,shows them to be thinking, feeling beings. I still find it overall to be a good story. The Sci-Fi aspects stand out well, alternate reality is well established. Jacamo
