I was disappointed when it ended.

IMO, at times too heavy pushing skill-sets & gear, could tone that down a bit to let the story flow. It pushed me out of being immersed in the story. I felt like I was reading a Sgt Rock comic book in some paragraphs.

I enjoyed the gunfight scene towards the end, well done, I found myself re-reading it to absorb how well you made it flow, very nice pace. Also liked the slight twist having DSGE pick him up, I didn't expect French in Panama.

I did like the character's self-awareness of human vulnerability moments you created. Even Billy Badass can have bad karma & catch a bullet or get his butt kicked. That was an aspect in Richard Marcinko's first book that created character depth, the big tough operator splitting his nose on a door-jamb, I remember that vivid paragraph.

Looking forward to the next installment.

Respectfully
RFA

Thanx for the feedback! If you get a chance, please leave feedback at Amazon as it's important for ranking and sales.

Any writing takes work and can be excuciating.

I've been very curious about what is the process for having a book published on Amazon.

As am I. Will, would you be willing to discuss it more via IM so not to derail the thread?

It's a pretty straight forward process. As long as you follow their formatting recs, etc, it's GTG. I don't do the technical aspects of putting the books together and converting it to the format they want (Mobi file I recall) but once I have the file done, I do the uploading etc. If you're interested in having an ebook put up, I do have a service for that. See Publishing Services on my B2B site.

I just finished part II of Vacation Gone South and I'm really stoked about it. Just sent off the the cop editor. It's approx 45k + words so far longer than the first, and hopefully even more fun. I'm hoping it' up in a week or two depending on usual factors.
