Excellent story, it's quite obvious you've done an INSANE amount fo research for your trilogy. I can't even begin to comprehend how much work has been put into this story (character analysis, backgrounds, understanding of the political climates, understanding of Jackson's disease, OH MY!).

Though, I do have to say that in this story and the prequel, the character of Sharena is a bit of a caricature.

God, I don't even want to know how much research you put into this, but it was well worth it! This was more than fanfic - I felt like I was watching a movie. It was both sweet at parts and truly terrifying. Wasn't sure about Lisa getting raped a second and third time - it was hard to stomach and I was looking forward to Jackson getting a bit more creative when dispactching the evil Dr. Greene: My vote would have been for castration and evisceration. In that order. But Jackson did what he could with the tools he had.

You are a very gifted writer and I can't wait to read more. BUT that will have to wait until I'm done moving. I've procrastinated enough with reading and I still have plenty more to pack and the moving truck is coming tomorrow ... *sigh*

after spending i'd say a good 5 - 6 hours yesterday reading your story, i must say that it is imperative that i review. i am in university studying for exams right now, and seeing as how i could not leave this story alone, is evidence in itself that this story was absolutely fantastic. i have no better words to describe it. your perfect combination of romance, action, suspense were immensely appreciated. i found myself involved in the story - almost to the point of tears (not in a bad way, don't worry). your characters, knowledge of military and medicine, and perfectly paced storyline were outstanding. i look forward to reading the rest of this series. EXCELLENT JOB!

When did they decide on the name Johnathan!?!? What did I miss!?!?!

Okay, LOVE Phoebe, and I'm starting to warm up to Lyna. Seriously, that was ballsy of Phoebe. Go her!

I'm starting to like Anoo.

Hate update: shifted fully to the psychiatrist.

Remember that thing that I said about going through phases of hating people in your stories? Yeah. I'm totally hating the kidnappers right about now. I'm flippin' out about Lisa.

So many people in this story have such bad timing! :)

I'm so glad that ** Millwood is dead!

Yay! Sharena's back!

Okay, now I suddenly don't feel so great about Jackson crying the night before. I thought he was doing it because he was overwhelmed with emotion or extremely happy or something. Yeah, guess not.

Loved the ending of this chapter! *I* nearly started crying!

Impromptu make-out session in a train ... that's new.

"I may have to steal you" ... maybe Jackson's promise is finally coming to fruition.
