This is an excellent chapter. Your descriptions had me right there in the woods. I look forward to the next chapter. I do not see any room for improvement. Have a blessed day.

So intriguing and mysterious. I love the way you (and thus we) are piecing all the jigsaw parts together now. Great writing and so enjoyable to read. Nice to have a bit of a break from the blood though!

Since both of them have the other's name on their arm, I don't know why they are having a pleasant chat instear of thy to kill the other first. I sure you know why.

    Baker has the names on his arm. We know him as Baker, he knows himself as Robert Butcher, GI Joe knows him as Bobby Do.

Your writing is top notch. Just one question: I came in late to this story. When is it exactly taking place? If it's in the Vietnam War era, then you have a small Anachronism. Skeletor didn't come into being till 1982. However, I use anachronisms, and many writers do. I especially like it when I don't get caught!
Keep up the good writing and I'm looking forward to the rest!

    The flashbacks began in the Vietnam War and then jumped to Desert Storm. Both Connor?s and Joseph?s fitness levels are part of the continued story.

Hi Bill,
This is the first time I've stumbled on your book. It is very intense and full of action. You did a great job of putting us in the story with your summary at the beginning. I'll have to go back and read more to get a full understanding.

Great job,
Rhonda

Confusing, Complicated, and Compelling. I love it.
It is raw, and action-packed. If you ever get it published I will buy it and read it straight through. My sister Tammy keeps threatening to get me a kindle. I love paperbacks. I trade with my sisters, and occasionally I go to a trading bookstore. Mostly however I go to thriftstores where you can pick up books cheaply. I am always looking for traders. I have six boxes of books ready to be shipped. I read a lot.
I read just about anything. Boy, did I go off on a tangent. Good story. Karen

It's a smart move for Ben not to identify who he really is, but I'm not sure G.I. Joe is gonna be fooled by that lie, or is that , in fact G.I. Joe? If I was in this mess that they're in, I don't think I'd trust anyone enough to tell the truth.
Looking forward to the next!

Hi Bill, this is a great continuation to the story. Ben is out cold but he slowly comes to and find he's with a strange named man. I loved the name that Ben gave when asked. Very appropriate. All best. Ulla:))

Hi Bill,

I think this is the first time I've read your work. My husband watches a lot of military type shows, and I watch with him. I enjoyed reading this chapter. Sorry to be jumping in cold so late in the chapters. You have good descriptions and characters. I'm surprised he offered his name so easily. I thought they only offer name, rank, and serial number? Looking forward to following along with future chapters.

Joy xx

    There have been many twists and turns in this story, Joy. If you want to go back a couple chapters to INTERMISSION, I summarized the story to that point. I'm within two or three postings to end this story now.
