Thanks for the review.

Jeff Head, I'm taking your book on my journey to New Zealand next week. I'll have plenty of time to read it on the long journey to and from NZ. I'm going to attend my brother's wedding and some sightseeing while I'm there.

I don't see too many book reviews on FR - I guess Amazon sort of covers that niche but it seems to be within the spirit of FR to review books that are topical to what is being discussed on the board. Dragon's Fury is very topical. Is there a bang list for books?

Thank you so much for the kind words.

I make no bones about the story trying to send messages, but also couching it in what I hope is an interesting, compelling and enjoyable story. I am glad and heartened that you found it so and hope I can live up to it in all of the novels in the series.

I am about 300 pages into Volume II and honestly believe it to be even better than Volume I. But in the end, that will be decided by folks like yourself. It should be available on Amazon sometime in June.

Again, thank you SO much for the kind words. I hope the novel can reach a broader and broader audience.

I look forard to your thoughts and comments. It's pretty intense, particularly at the end. Remember, it's the end of book one of five parts and the last Book is entitiled "Eagle's Talons".

Thanks for letting me know Jack.

Joke follows

Two competitive friends go sky diving. The first jumps from the plane, pulls the cord and his chute opens. The second jumps, pulls the cord and nothing happens. He falls straight down. As he passes his friend, the friend gets angry, unbuckles his harness and shouts, “So you wanna race, eh?”

Funny thing; I did not know you were friends.

So who will I buy my next book from?

It annoys me that you cannot write as fast as I read. Nor could Heinlein, Jordan, Clancy, Dickson, Eddings, Adams, Stasheff, Goodkind,...

Twain gets a free pass - he has an excuse. He is dead.
