Checking the date, I realize it's been many months since this story was finished, but I wanted to drop a review anyway. I only recently started reading RH stories, and this one stuck out because I noticed the length and the fact it said the very important word "complete" next to it. :) So many are unfinished or so badly written, it's hard to find a good one.
It's taken me about 3 days to finish reading this story, it pulled me in so much I could hardly pull away! An incredible rarity with fanfics. I felt like I was reading a book-everything was so wonderfully done, and created a very real feel. Towards, the end, the last 10 or so chapters, I noticed only two writers were taking turns and the chapters seemed to get longer-and it was obvious that they really cared about the story. So to these 2, I say; Leilani-your 5 strongest chapters, in my opinion were 25, 32, 47, 49 & 51-very nice work, the earlier chapters were good too, but the later ones stand out more because the story was more devloped. Cari-your 5 strongest chapters were 8 (I loved that one from Viper's POV) 37, 42, 50, and the epilogue. I just loved the ep. I loved the end of it with the Viper on the beach, what a wonderful ending! And it feels like there might be a sequel.
If there is a sequel, please e-mail me and let me know! I am signing this rev. with my addy. Also if any of the authors have any other stories out there.
Beautiful job ladies! I will rec. this story to anyone!

Absolutely, un-believable! I've been reading this story on and off for a while, at first at Yahoo, then later, here. I rarely unlurk, but I have to say the last part just blew me away, well worth the wait! FF liked people to give "well-rounded reviews" so I'll try. First, it was such an awesome final chapter! And so long too! Maybe I was the only one, but I actually did wonder why Syd never tried going to the restaruant in Cairo. So I loved that was included in the epil. Aside from that, I liked the fact Nigel had the reaction he did - that we got to see that he was still recovering from what happened and wasn't just happy and instantly himself again.
I really loved when Preston gave Nigel the watch, I really enjoyed Nigel's thoughts when he started re-appraising the way he saw his brother, and that memory from the Parthenon was so sweet! It's nice to know the two of them hadn't always been fighting tooth and nail. And, not to give away spoilers, but I *LOVED* the very last section when the Viper popped up again, I could totally see that scene in my head with him on the beach. And the last line was great: "I've heard wonderful things about the reptile house" LMAO! I bet he has!
Anyone reading this before reading the story, you should +definitely+ do it, it may be long, but it's worth it! I think it's probably the best and most like RH to the show that you'll ever find. The writing is excellent starting at chapter one and lasting through to the end, getting better and better as the story develops.
I love the authors of this story! All of them are awesome! And Cari- thanks for tying it all up at the end! :) Great details!
Woow..I just finished reading this. Incredible! I must congratulate each and every writer who worked on this, you all did such a wonderful job. Thanks for writing such an awesome story!
FREAKIN' AWESOME. OMG, I LOVED IT, EVERYONE!I hope this story will turn into an episode. It could happen. They could do a reunion episode. It would be so damn cool! (I wish I would have had a part in it, though. (lol) Oh, well... Keep up the great work, guys!

Wow - Congratulations for finishing such a monumental effort 2 years in the making! I'm glad I came upon your story late in your postings - I'm not sure I would have had the patience to wait for all of the installments. A great job done by all! The story was magnificent in storyline, action, and detail. Wonderful!
I LOVED THIS! You are very talented writers! This is a great stroy, and I didn't stop reading it ( until mum unplugged the computer, which was at chapter 21)
The ending made me cry too!
Good work! you've done a great job! It's VERY well written.

LeiLani referred to this site - w.glassonline.com/history.html - when she wrote this. As always, make sure you add the two extra W's to get to the right site.
this is one of the best fics I think I've ever read! this was just G-R-E-A-T!

Oh, I just LOVE this story, I'd have to recommend it to anyone who liked the show. The idea of having something so long as a round robin is something I've never seen. I don't have anything bad to say about it. I guess if I had to pick something, I'd say that some chapters aren't as well developed as others, but you can't take points off since there was more than one author. Overall, TWO Thumbs UP!
More more more! I need to know more. Plz, pretty plz. This is very interesting, but hate the cliffhanger. This should be filmed into an episode. Well done.

Hi, i just re-read this, it's great as usual and it's nice to read it again.
btw, is there any more chapters coming soon? On the other sites they've left it at a real cliffhanger, every time i read it i want to cry because it's over and they've not updated it! Would someone, somewhere write just a teeny chapter, a few words perhaps?
Anyway, sorry to go on, this is such a great fic.

"She didn’t know he was capable of the resolve that would let him hunt for Ichriem alone, even if it meant facing the Viper single-handedly." AYIYI! More soon, please!
