My wheels of review time grind slowly and I'm back at Randall in the rotation. Where should I start? I feel like I'm trying to lasso a speedboat.

Alkemi, I wasn't' putting much effort into being a detective. My aim was to get our group talking and to challenge my assumptions.
Randy, moving to Scotland. Wow, that's a big change. At least the weather will be similar to Michigan.
Read today that the average temperature in the US is 11 degrees (Fahrenheit) this morning at 7 and that 85% of the country is below freezing. Glad to be in California. You all need to warm it up over there so the storms can go to dry Cali and stop going to Alaska.

I'm surprised how long this group has gone on. I also expected to have finished everyone's chapters within a year. Maybe next year. Life keeps getting in the way of my writing and reviewing plans.
I've wondered lately what we would be like as a group meeting in person. It would be interesting to see if my mental images match reality.
Anyways, I was curious where everyone is from. I'm from Clovis, California, almost dead center in the state. I've suspected that Randall's from New York, because I once saw Niagara Falls in his profile picture. Alkemi appears to be from Newfoundland or somewhere in Canada.
Give a shout out.
Matthew

To all,
I've had reviewers comment on my convention for sound names. For example, I use UnderRainDrip with a footnote explaining this is the sound of rain on the surface of an ocean heard underwater. All the alternatives I've considered seem convoluted and repetitious. Any ideas?

I started a review blitz of Dangerous Alliance and finished the first five chapters before Jube called it off. How ironic, reviewing a military novel and forced to hurry up and wait.

I feel like that guy who goes to the track to jog a few laps and then gets lapped several times by a sprinter. My writing has definitely been at a slower pace. Way to go Randall!

I reviewed chapter 12 of Jube's, The World of Phyries and somehow broke the fourth wall of the inline review screen. I pasted my ending comments and they escaped outside of the box.

Re: Matthew Abelack's novel, Krudges: The Girl Who Lost the Earth (22 replies, posted in Alpha to Omega - Review Group)
I am inspired to write some pre chapters to the novel to set up the context better. There will be at least three maybe more. So, in the near future I'll be reordering the chapters. Two that are definite are Taikei during his astronaut days during the first Interstellar captain competition, and Dmitri visiting the shipyard during construction of that ship. Since the two families are integral to the story, I think it's best to introduce them first. Introducing the Mercatians and the backstory with the Syndicate seems fitting. Debating whether to introduce Johan and his crew before they set off for Earth. Let me know what you think of the change.

I feel like I'm in a time warp every time I come back to the review group. It's been a busy summer. Since I don't see book one listed I'm assuming I should review book two.

I think this group size is just write(pun).
By the way, an Orc army being raised up to kill ISIS reminds of the Army's plan to create a battalion of Hell's Angels to kill the Vietcong. Same indiscriminate tactics, same ill will fomented in the locals.
