Tucker and Farnsworth meet again.27 total reviews
Comment from L. Kalere
As usual, I'm running out of breath after reading one of your chapters. These 2 guys are more like Butch and Sundance than mortal enemies, each cheekier than the other. Lots of fun action with very colorful descriptions. I especially like the tongue in cheek approach. Well done.

Thank you so much, Linda, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid are stiff competition, and I don't think there is a day that I don't remember them sitting on the edge of that cliff and the dialog before they jumped. I think I'd have personally fit well with those characters, and it's nice to think Tucker and Daniel might too. Much appreciated!

You've been kind enough to drop by and read my work so I thought I'd check out what you are writing.
Talk about action-packed. Excellent descriptions mixed with a lot of shooting make this exciting. There is hardly room to breathe as Tucker runs from one trap to another. Both Tucker and Farnsworth are in quite a pickle. Great sensory images in the cabin. Yuck! Now how are they going to get out of this? I look forward to the next chapter.

Thank you so much, Debi, for your generous review and kind words. I enjoy reading your work, so I hope I can entertain you a little with my foolishness. I honestly don't know how I'm going to get them out of this pickle. Maybe it's time to start plotting and outlining. LOL. Much appreciated!
-
Everyone writes their own way. I don't outline. I tried once and then found I didn't write the story because I knew how it ended. LOL.
-
LOL. I tried to outline too. But I hated what I wrote. It was planned out and phony. :-)

***Virtual six***! OMG! I don't think I breathed until the end. I just loved this and think it's your best yet! I'm glad you left it open for more. What a wild ride!
Sending you my best today as always and best wishes for your writing endeavors.

Comment from JSD
Really punchy and exciting writing. Well done. Gripping throughout and you handle the action with real aplomb. Great description and authentic sounding dialogue. Great stuff.

Thank you so much, JSD, for your generous review and kind words. I'm glad you liked it. This is the first time I've seen your name pop up, but I'll be looking to read some of your posts. Much appreciated!

To be honest, sometimes the length of a piece puts me off, but this drew me in.
-
Yes, when people read to bank away Fan dollars to promote their own work, it's hard to spend too much time on one piece. I try to keep my posts somewhere between 1,200 and 1,500 words and I don't post often. Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Things are not looking too good.
Great action.
I had to wonder, though, about all the shooting early on. Do they want him dead, or captive?
Bets wishes.

Thanks so much, Wayne, for sticking with my foolishness. It's the way an old guy gets excitement and adventure from the comfort of his La-Z-Boy. The cartel has been trying to catch or kill them for a while now, but I think they want it done slow and painful, or they have some information the drug lords want to know. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Cindy Decker 2
Ric,
Your fast-paced story is detailed, and your words and style make for an excellent taut thriller.
Your characters and dialogue are believable.
I like the photo and would like a cabin like this, without all the noise, of course.
Great work.
Good luck,
Cindy

Thank you so much, Cindy, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. I'm with you on the cabin. I was looking to find an old broken-down shack of a cabin, but when I saw this one, I couldn't help but use the picture. LOL. I'm so happy you liked Tucker's latest antics. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from Frank Malley
"Resurrection, Part 8" owes its design to the way in which thrilling action stories and movies have evolved. As is true in contemporary thrilling stories, reality can be pretty much overlooked by virtually super-hero heroes.Ric does very well at establishing the wild pace of action, and the survival of the two central characters is no more improbable than many survivals in contemporary movies. There are occasional punctuation errors in this chapter; for one, put a comma before names used in direct address. The word 'relinquished' is misused; 'canceled' or 'ended' would work correctly. Sometimes the author uses unnecessary words in a phrase; is anything added by characterizing this escape as immediate?
Returning to improbability as a criticism, the bantering toughness of the two men when they have been beaten nearly to death is unlikely as can be imagined, but once again, the boundaries of likelihood have always been stretched in fiction, and I am always glad the the good guys prove to be invincible.

Comment from Iza Deleanu
I enjoyed this chapter, and also I like the choice of words, that quick witt that cares the narration well, like in this example: "Tucker woke to two navy-blue suits staring down at him. A skinny shrimp in high-water trousers stood with his pistol in hand. And some lard-butt Neanderthal with bulldog jaws kept nudging him with his foot." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the next chapter.

Thank you so much, Iza, for your comments, generous review, and kind words. I probably should have left these characters dead, but people kept asking me to bring them back. Now, it'll take a smarter person than me to get them out of this trap. I appreciate your time and encouragement!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I'm so sorry I don't have a six, seven or ten stars to give you, Ric. Even though the last chapter was eons ago, I was soon into it. Poor Tucker! That must have hurt like hell being dragged over whatever nasty thing it could collide with and then, to top it all, he's in a room with Farnsworth!! Who is also needing to get out of the predicament they have both found themselves in. AND, if that wasn't enough, they are sharing the room with a load of smelly corpses! You do come up with the goods, my friend!! Now I want you to promise me that you will deliver the next chapter in days, not months!! This was amazing, only one gripe, no steaming buck naked men in showers!!!! Now, come on! What's an old dutch like me supposed to do? Well done, my friend, that was a fabulous read. :)) Love and hugs, Sandra xx

Thank you so much, Sandra, for your generous review, kind words, and taking time out to read my foolishness. I had intended to leave these characters dead, but people kept asking, so I resurrected them. Now I have to figure a way out of this mess or kill them off for good, and neither will be easy. LOL. I appreciate your kindness and continued encouragement. Love and hugs back at you!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants you to continue this fabulous story, I really enjoyed this chapter. More, please! xxx

You're so SWEET!
-
You're just saying that!!! LOL! xxx

Nope, I mean every word!!!
Comment from Douglas Goff
Whew, a bit long, but a good read. I am not sure how 'elite' those non-shooting assassins were.
Great action sequence.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much, Douglas, for taking time out to read my foolishness. I don't know if they were really bad shots or Tucker dodged well. LOL. Sorry it was a little long. I try to keep chapters to 1,200 words or less, but this one slipped to 1,400. I appreciate your generous review!

It is an interesting read, my friend.
