One Summer in Georgia, by Cole Parker

[Merkin]

Cole channels Lee Child, or is it Dean Koontz? Time will tell. The Prologue is a wow moment, and if this is the start-up, I can't wait for the climax...

[Nigel Gordon]

The start up promises a lot, one thing with Cole, you can be sure he will deliver.

[DesDownunder]

Now that's a prologue, with testicles.

To say this looks promising is an understatement.

[Guest RBartlett]

Clearly the guy isn't with the FBI or he wouldn't ave shot the Colonel, dismissed the audience or left the captives behind. This could be interesting.

[Chris James]

I see Cole has changed his attitude, and this story seems to define a new look. No complaints from me since I love reading a good Lee Childs type of story. I would guess Cole has been reading outside the kids in the classroom agenda we have seen from him in the distant past. A good beginning, reminds me of the grittier elements he gave us in Dust, and what a fine story that was.

A prologue is just a tease, Cole....what's with that? I agree with Ryan, something isn't right about this opening gambit...a little misdirection perhaps?

[Cole Parker]

Heh heh heh heh heh

[Lugnutz]

Interesting...

[Rutabaga]

Holy moly, what an opening.

I agree: a terrific open, and it looks like another compelling Cole story!

[Merkin]

O Kaay. Chapter One. I'm waiting for the dog to start talking.

[DesDownunder]

This is so good.

[Lugnutz]

Will be reading soon. I won't be let down.

The prologue reminds me of "Dust".

[Cynus]

Reading chapter one now. I am incredibly excited.

[Rutabaga]

Cole, you bastard, you've got everyone hooked again. Two people on the run, each for reasons unknown to the other. A single adult guy and an apparent runaway teenager with trouble chasing him. And the adult guy works for a mysterious "subagency" doing clandestine work worthy of Mr. Phelps.

Nah, nothing interesting there. :ohmy: :ohmy:

[Lugnutz]

Just getting started. Nothing odd here.

[Nigel Gordon]

I suspect this is going to get a lot more complex before we get to the end. It is going to be enjoyable seeing it come together.

[Jeff Ellis]

Good one Cole. I've no idea where you are taking us but I'm on for the ride, I know its going to be good

[alandwight]

I concur with all the above comments. Chapter 1 gets us thinking and I like the way it ended. Now I'll have to read chapter 2. Enjoying it, Cole.

[Cole Parker]

Thanks, guys. It's good to be liked. Still very early in this one.

Terrific beginning. I like where it's headed -- many questions that need answering.

[Gee Whillickers]

Excellent beginning. I had some ideas after the prologue that turned out to be a bit prophetic, but the meeting of the two characters surprised me. I love Colton's attitude and moxie. This is just excellent so far, grabbed my attention and held it, and it's making me very impatient for the next chapters. Somehow I don't think I'll be waiting until the final chapter is posted before reading any more of this one. I don't think I'll have the patience.

[Rutabaga]

Definitely some nasty characters emerging in this latest chapter.

R

[Nigel Gordon]

Yes, they are the type of characters which make me open my files on extremely nasty toxicology!! You know those poisons which take ages to kill but make the process totally unbearable.

[Rutabaga]

“I don’t hug kids,” I said while squeezing him, “but this seems a good time for an exception.”

Yup, that pretty much sums things up.

R

[Rutabaga]

The plot thickens. I have to say, it seems like they could have waited on breakfast for another hour . . .
