Fun read.

I absulutly loved it it had some sexuality in it but it was more about there life I do hope that you write more stories like this

The paragraphs were probably TOO short, even for a computer screen, and the action went past at blinding speed, but I was engrossed every minute. Do you think you'll write more stories about this couple, telling stories about them and the people they meet? Or about the narrator's earlier life? Not everything, but I would love to know about his teacher-education training and his EMT training.

I had friends who lived in Alaska (one was an EMT dispatcher and I think the other was an EMT; ), and other friends who visited it, so I know a little about the state and the geography. Is the highway still called the Al-Can? Officially, it's the Alaska Highway. My uncle was a communications engineer on the highway during World War II and he used your name for it, so the books may be wrong. I also wonder about the settlement. It must be on the Arctic Coastal Plain if I'm reading right, or maybe the western Pacific coastal plain if the summers are a little warmer. (My friends lived in Barrow. They eventually moved south.) But that's a nice, large area. It doesn't matter much, but I am curious about the village. You don't have to revive Northern Exposure, for sure, but I would like to read more. Please.

Loved it!

Well..first it was Mickey Spillane and Mike Hammer...then it was a little disconnected and unreal and then the bandit sat down and wrote a story...one that kept me line by line all the way to the end...it is a tough world in the big city...and those two characters are about as unlikely a pair as any could be...but you made it work in your story...well done...enjoyed...thank you! Amicus...

and very human at others. Recommended to anyone!

This was a great read... Thanks a lot and hope you keep up the good work..

Just now read this one for the first time. Good work, Bandit - concise, fast read, to the point, and no BS.

Aside from the story being rushed, there were soo many errors in it. Try some reaserch next time.

- Sneaking into Canada with 2 or 3 guns in the car could be a bit of a

problem.

- Also try selling a car in Canada with US registration. That will sure get

the tax man's attention. Then the cop's.

- A dive by the docks in Vancouver???? Maybe seeing some of the stuff on

the 2010 games might be enlightening.

-a few turns then out of "town" and on to the Alaska highway. Wow, that

highway doesn't even start in British Columbia. It starts in NW Alberta.

-Sneaking back into the US (Alaska) without any documents!!! Don't think

so.

-a 6 hour flight out of Anchorage and they burn wood? Brought in by truck

when the only way in there is by air?

-a basement north of Anchorage! Never heard of permafrost?

-making a snowman in the artic. Maybe in the NE states but the

artic...never

Just to list a few. I was really pissed off that you obviously spent no more time than a quick glance at an atlas as you wrote this.

This was a great story. I enjoyed reading it.

Good story till you said you have four children already, and its only your second winter there. Four in 12 months?

Wish you were still writing.

As I read your story I had to remind myself it was FICTION. We'll Done. Dutchboy

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. And I’m sure I’m not the first to say it. But it was a very nice story, and I enjoyed it a lot.
