#1 A Ripping Yarn, Phil. Up to Chapter 10 already. Well done.

#2 Agreed - two thumbs up from me. I imagine, and being a programmer that's as close to fiction as I'll ever get, lol, that drawing a sympathetic MullahBot of the Rev Guards might just be the toughest bit, heh. But you put the frog in the water and brought the heat up slowly, lol. I'm only on Chap 4, but it has the touch and feel, alright... Excellent stuff - I'm hooked and I'm there for the duration, lol. Your Day Job is in jeopardy, bro. Got a tip jar? 8-)

#3 Agreed: I've been in projects for the military that involved a lot of programming, and he captured the atmosphere and dynamics nicely.

#6 Read the first chapter, and I'm hooked.

Say . . . ever notice that you never see Phil and Tom Clancy in the same place at the same time?
