Thanks for those kind words. The
Independent Republic and it's ability to spread and dissiminate information over the net quickly (just as in real life on FR), is something I had to get in the novel at the opportune moment.
BTW, have you seen the reports about India and China conducting joint naval exercises? Who would have thought, huh?
You mean this FR article HERE?
Yes I have...in fact I posted it! LOL!
I didn't notice you had posted it! I got a heads up about it from a shipmate living in Bombay, which used to be one of our frequent ports of call (great food). He's one of the guys that bugged me to borrow your book, which is probably why he emailed me the story.
It's spooky!
