Glad you enjoyed the book even if it did have goobers. Which, let's face it, all of them do whether sharp-eyed fans find them or not! Thanks for the comments, Pete.

Looking forward to the next Kate Shugak too. Just two comments on PFR - there's a small anachronism in that Shuttle launches of communications satellites were discontinued following Challenger. Perhaps a bit more serious, the Shuttle launch would have been held until the freighter was removed from the security area - you just sort of dropped the freighter once Isa and his men were aboard Mun 1. Anyway, still a good story, and richer for the detail and your obvious admiration for the Coasties, which I share. Just finished Prepared for Rage, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

If I were eighteen again I'd be hammering on the door of the CG recruiter's office. And thank you! It’s not a one-sided pleasure, Joni, believe me, I am having the time of my life.

FA Ryan Foster (my son) was the sounder in the picture you posted. It was great to see his smiling face. What a blessing your blogsite is. There are 10-20 friends and family of Ryan that log on and read everyday. When asked what he is up to I just refer people to the site. Thanks for the insight and adventure into the Munro and it's crew. Thanks Dana! FA Ryan Foster (my son) was the sounder in the picture you posted. It was great to see his smiling face.
