Thank you so much, Eliz100, for your generous review and kind words. I doubt my foolishness is in your preferred zone of reading, which makes me all the more grateful you took time out to read it. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm thankful I could entertain you for a minute or two. Much appreciated!

Ric, I don't believe for a moment you struggled to find a stopping point! Ten years from now, when Tucker Volume 58 hits the top of the rankings, you'll still be struggling to find a stopping point, and your readers will not let you!
I think we need to consider a contest: "Write a story that casts the Movie. Tucker, Man of Action." Tell us who gets the lead and supporting roles. Well done, Terry.

Thank you so much, Terry, for taking time out to read and review by ongoing foolishness. Just my way of living an exciting life from the comfort of my La-Z-Boy. I appreciate you and your continuing encouragement. :-)
Comment from RJ Fuller
This is really action packed and entertaining! I'm reminded of Ian Fleming, but with more historical details and accuracies. Your descriptions are superb! I am going to have to go back and start this from the beginning, for sure. I'm looking forward to reading more!!!

Thank you so much, RJ, for your generous review and kind words. As I've often said, writing is my way of jazzing up an otherwise dull life. LOL. I appreciate you taking time out to read my foolishness and your encouraging remarks. And I'm glad I could entertain you for a minute or two. I look forward to reading your new posts.

Wow, thank you so much, Iza, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. I tried to lull readers early on, hoping when the action picked up it would make it more intense. I'm just afraid there a thin line between lulling them to sleep. LOL. It's always great to get starry reviews from those I enjoy reading. I appreciate YOU!
Comment from LJbutterfly
I don't care about length when the story is riveting. I had been waiting to read Tucker and Farnsworth's next moves. What I like most about this story is the fact that no matter what the circumstances and dangers, Tucker always gets away. He reminds me of the old Charles Bronson "Death Wish" movies. Charles always got away.
Fast paced action, mystery, and crime is my favorite genre to read. I'm looking forward to reading what happens to Tammy Jo and T.D. Plus, I'm still not sure if Farnsworth can be trusted.

Thank you so much, Lorraine, for your generous review and kind words. Charles Bronson was my favorite character of all time, mostly because he was a real life tough guy, not just a movie character. Tucker is just a good ol' boy caught up in a bad situation. LOL. I appreciate YOU, and for sticking with my long series. :-)

first time I have read a work of yours. Quite entertaining. Thanks for the large type face. I must certainly roll back the chapters and dive into this story. Good stuff.

Thank you so much, Kaiku, for your generous review and kind words. I'm just an old man who can't do all the things I used to, so I just make up foolishness to keep from being too bored. LOL. I appreciate your encouragement and for taking time out to check this story out. Much appreciated!
Comment from Yardier
Been there, done that. Acapulco is now a rotting ghost town with abandoned condos home now to bats and parrots. Nightfall reveals squatters flickering flames as they cook their meal for the night. I don't think legitimate cruise lines even go there anymore.
Still, your story is great, full of action and mystic nuances. My favorite line says it all; " Fresh, soft-blowing sea breezes flickered flames of giant table candles." Just like your prose, wafting words of enticing mystery.
Most excellent, my fried.
Write on, or you will shrivel and die.

Thank you so much, Yard, my friend, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. Yes, you are so right about Acapulco. What a shame such a beautiful place has gone down the tubes. I thought that line sounded better than down the shi_ _er. I used to have a wonderful time there. I've never been smart enough to be too afraid of anything or anywhere, but a man who is scared of that place is stupid. :-)
Write On sounds like the trick for both of us: the only way we can still see action. :-) I appreciate YOU!
Comment from CornishChick
This story is highly creative. However, it seems to hop from scene to scene and was a bit hard to follow at times. With a little development, the scenes will flow better. It kept my attention to the end. I like the abrupt ending, but it needs a teeny tweak to leave the reader even more bewildered *grin*

Thanks for taking timeout to read my story. This is the 11th chapter of a much longer story, so it does make three jumps to let readers know what the other characters are doing. Sorry it confused you.

I'm almost 70. Maybe I confuse easily *snicker*

I'm 69, and without a list, I can't remember why I went to the store. Have a wonderful rest of your week.

yep... been there, done that!
Comment from Nicki Nance
You took me there before most of the action with the details about the cliff diving event. Your imagery makes this read like a movie... The disguises, the two "babes", the dancing death by machine gun fire. Though you hit a lot of locations, I never felt lost. I liked your stopping point.

Thank you so much, Nicki, for your extra special six-star review and kind words. I'm sure my foolishness is way outside your preferred reading zone, which makes it all the more special that you took time to read it. This is what old guys do when they can't do all the exciting things they used to. LOL. I appreciate YOU! Your writing, and your reviews.
Comment from GWHARGIS
Never apologize when the writing is good. I liked the way you describe Tucker. Honorable deep down, doing the right thing but blurring the legal lines a tad. He does have his limit ... murder. He is no killer. But , if pushed to his limits, would he? Remains to be seen. Great addition to this story. Gretchen

Thank you so much, Gretchen, for your generous review and kind words. Yes, you are right, Tucker is not a bad person. But the best people can be pushed too far and become worse than bad. LOL. I appreciate your encouraging review!
