Ideally if one is to read the works of Kenneth Roberts this is to be read first. The book is an excellent work by a master author but it is below Arundel and Rabble in Arms
somewhat.
The oft criticized second book is much better than advertised. There is a ten page selection near the end that was upsetting only because it took away from a great spot to end an excellent novel. However the final eight pages make for an excellent ending.
Up next Lydia Bailey also by Roberts.
I spent the day with relatives of the Tranquil Sea. She was exhausted from a 14 hour day at work and I had no desire to wake her. I sat reading the end of Northwest Passage when her little Maltese caught my scent and raised a ruckus. She was breathtakingly beautiful but so tired I felt bad even as I held her, The Maltese was so excited that he jumped all over me for 20 minutes greeting me and made off with a tiny finger sandwich. I had a Turkey on pumpernickel with coleslaw and Russian dressings but he smelled it even in foil and in a plastic bag.
I went to stay with some friends in the Guyana community. The country where I will be going is not safe and my health may be compromised by local food. My trip may just be a short stay at a resort hotel.
I really wanted to charter a small craft down the Berbice River it isn't safe. My trip may be pushed back until a larger group is going for safety reasons.

Dear Beak,
You have consistently ignored me in the past but since you are a man of ambition and achievement, I'm sure you will want to assist in this matter.
As you know, the Boston art scene is filled with communists and terrorists. I have tried to remove these influences but have to rely on the influence of an Officer. I know you have the answers.
The Museum of Fine Arts is holding a Palestinian film festival and ticket sales are strong. There must be some way to demand that Homeland Security act. You are a homeland security officer, surely you can close it down.
I attended the concert at the Gardner last Sunday and what do I see? MUSLIMS! One even asked me a few questions about the Martini polyptych, obviously gathering intelligence for an attack.
I notified the admissions desk and security but they simply told me it was a tour group. A tour group of MUSLIMS? Please Officer Beak, only you can stop this dastardly plot.
Sincerely,
Ducky

If the FBI continues doing its job you may find yourself in GITMO. I bet Renegade Sphincter is shitting in his pants wondering when the FBI is going to raid his home and send his ass to GITMO.
If this was done under Bush commies would be howling, but as Obama is a commie all is peachy.

Beak, you really do need an editor.
Actually the point gets across. Unlike Ren everything is original.
Original and commies should never go together.
