| Somewhat weaker than the average for this series, in my mind. I think part of the problem was reintroducing a villain who we've seen before and who, twice, they thought they've killed. It just seemed a bit much and I kind of lost interest after that. ...more | |

| The Cap Kennedy series isn't great literature but I consistently find them fun reads. They are also short and quick reads. I like the main character, Cap Kennedy, and his band of compadres. The villains are suitable vicious and the settings interesti ...more | |

Thanks for the friendship, Charles. Happy writing!
I love to read--no resistance to books whatsoever. :)
Thanks, Lady Danielle, I appreciate that. I see you also have a LOT of books.
Hi Charles. Thanks for the friendvite. I've been following your reviews.
Hi.What We Talk About When We Talk About Love?PLZ Answer The Question In My Profile.
Hey there Charles. Boy, we spent some grand summers at Lake Ponchatrin beach, especially when the rides and beach front was booming. Also, I meant to ask you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too!Thanks,
Jeannie
Jeannie, Abita springs is near Covington. It's across Lake Ponchartrain from New Orleans/Metairie, not far past Covington.Illyn, I'll check it out.
Hey Charles, thanks so much for the add. Now just where is Abita Springs, LA? My husband and I use to splice fiber optic cable and we worked all over Louisiana...lots of little towns people had never heard of...I'm sure you're aware of that.Blessings,
Jeannie
