Fanciful, unbelievable, fun fable.

Had to suspend reality to truly enjoy.

The narrative style made it a bit difficult at times, and sometimes there was too much, and at other times, not enough information.

Still fine story.

Hightec+Fairytale

I loved the combination, at 88 being maybe one of the oldest computer geek still alive.

For me the Digital Revolution seems anyhow like a Fairytale come true, so like anything is possible.

Loved your story, thank you.

Additionally, having been born in Geermany there was also a bit of nostalgia for me.

Good

Good little story. I normally like all of your stories. This one was especially good until the shooting in the bank. It just ended too soon. You needed to flesh out the recovery and marriage a little and this would have been a four or five star story instead of three. I know it is sometimes difficult to go that last little step as I have the same problem from time to time but it would have really improved this story to add one more page.

nice

Thanks for your story. It is quiet good.

As a german I enjoyed your good researched parts about Germany. However there where some things that are not so good. For example the German police is called Bundespolizei (federal police) because Germany is a federation of staates. And cardiac arrest ist not Herz Festnahmen (allthough that made me laugh) it is Herz Stillstand (literally heart stand still) a Festnahme is what a cop does with a criminal. And, I know its a pitty, nobody in Germany says Fräulein any more. Beeing called a Fräulein in a working enviroment would be very patronising and actually quiet insulting these days.

However these are minimal things. I really liked it and I hope you write more stories like this.

Nice story, but PLEASE next time try to ask a native for the right words. Although the Staatspolizei fighting the RAF is funny in a sad way.

And please show me how to get from Stuttgart to Ulm in 30 Minutes. Tried it once, still got the speeding tickets...

What CAN be believable?

If one concerns themselves with typos - gremlins - time and distance - etc etc then you missed the jest of the story. Learn the story or lessen from or of the story and forget the rest.. even the Sleeping Beauty fantasy unconditional love brings true miracles BELIEVE THAT !!!!! Thanks GatorRick all your stories are great if one studies the stories.. Hermit you are very good too was raised in MO and now live about 50 miles south of Rick Keep up the great stories Rick

Danka! Das ist wunderbar! Nice to read a romance/action story on occasion. Good writing and plot. This is my first reading of your work and I quite enjoyed it. Kudos to you. Cheers!

Where's the emotion

Good plot, but I can't really agree with the comments I read about the story. This is the report the guy had to turn in with his agency, rather than a romance story about it. Far too dry, with hardly any emotions. Beef it up!

Getting better all the ti-i-ime.

Rick,

I've read all your submissions to date, and if you don't mind my saying so, I was less than favourably impressed. I found your characters two dimensional and your sense of right and wrong to be too simplistic. However, for some reason, I kept being drawn back, and I see why. This submission is a big and noticeable change for the better; your characters seem more human and the heroism more believable. Keep it up - it's exciting to see a writer develop both his craft and his sensibilities.
