Excellent, Jeff!

I look forward to your completing this chapter so that I can read it in its entirety.

From the outset, chapter one of volume one, you have exhibited a Clancy-like (sometimes superior to him, IMO) ability to weave a believable, suspenseful, fact-based tale of what we can expect if we remain voluntarily pseudo-insulated from the dangers that no longer lurk abroad, but are infiltrating every aspect of American life.

My editing assignments have become almost insignificant, because your writing abilities, although strong at the outset, have become even more sharply honed. (That’s not a complaint, mind you. I find myself sitting in front of my computer screen, enmeshed in the storyline, and sometimes forgetting that I supposedly have a job to do. :)

I read an article recently (in Imprimis , IMO the most excellent college-published speech digest available), entitled Radical Islam in America, that is one of the most frightening commentaries I have ever come across. Its major emphasis is on the fact that the Wahhabi doctrine of Islam (with virulence as its only message), and enjoying a powerful Saudi base, is running the show in America. They have potent media influence; they virtually control the Muslim religious teachings (preaching extremist doctrine, and directly recruiting new terrorists) among the American prison population, and they are chartering Islamic academies in all fifty states: Islamic elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools – supported by Saudi money, and teaching violent, anti-American Wahhabi doctrine.

This brutal, activist sect is training our enemies right here on our own soil, and the number of their training facilities (mosques, prisons, schools) is growing by leaps and bounds. This article's findings should read as glaring headlines in every major newspaper, but for the fact that most major newspapers are more concerned with America's 'infringing on the civil rights' of those involved. The (purposeful) idiocy is almost surreal.

Sorry for the rant. :) I guess your ping here reminded me that shades of this infiltration are in your Dragon’s Fury series. For that reason (among others) I would like to see it in every American household. Not just sitting on the bookcase or coffee table, but read, comprehended, and taken to heart, before it's too late.

Joanie...as always, thank you so much for the kind words and encouragement. You and Chris have stuck with this from the very beginning and I cannot thank you enough...Cory came along a little later and has been just as faithful to the project once she became a part of it.

The good Lord has truly blessed me with friends and associates who have certainly taken my ramblings and helped make them shine as much as possible.

This chapter should be done and to you sometime during the weekend.

I pray we never have to go through anything like Dragon's Fury...but I am afraid we shall have to experience worse than what we are seeing now before the vast majority of Americans unite against the common threat and are humbled and vigilant enough to return to our roots...which we will have to do if we expet the good Lord's blessings...which we will have to have if we hope for true liberty to survive and persist.

I believe we shall...and think that if worse comes to worse and something like Dragon's Fury comes about, that people will in fact rise up to the challenge and perform according to 2 Chron. 7:14.

As always, best regards to you and yours.
