[Travis McGee]

I could never write the Jack Ryan/Dirk Pitt infallible super duper hero kind of character. I'm only interested in characters who doubt, worry, flinch, and still decide in the end that the mission is worth the sacrifice, and carry on, sometimes stumbling along the way. To me, it's their human-ness that I love.

"To me, it's their human-ness that I love."

And there's 550 pages of human in that book. Good job.

"......infallible super duper hero kind of character."

Hollywood and most writers wouldn't know a real "heroic" figure if one bit them in the ass. Too many times, their world is one of fantasy and make believe...

Real heroes aren't "cool" under stress --- they sweat like pigs.
Real heroes aren't "fearless" --- they have nightmares of being killed in some rotten god forsaken place, but rise to the occassion and fight the good fight.
Real heroes are simply young men who perform heroically when duty and honor requires.......
Real heroes cry like children at the loss of a brother...whose ghosts haunt them throughout eternity.

Reading the reviews of your book, is tempting me to start reading earlier than my plan... I wanted to wait until the wife had left to visit the children/grandchildren in Georgia -- but I may not be able to wait that long...
