Brilliant! And, Pueros has it exactly right with the last line of his recent "Startrek - Ganymede : Episode 2," where Captain Cox observes, "Paolo was indeed one of Earth's best 21st century authors!"

p.s.: Pueros is no slouch either. His "Startrek" series is a great read and his "Nero" promises to be an epic novel of Gravesian proportions.

Agreed on all counts, Jesus!

Paolo has me so hooked on all things Harry Potter... and that from someone who barely had the time of day for the cute little Wizard until the end of June this year.

Once again I repeat, Paolo's efforts are every bit as good, if not better, than the published stories that have made a certain woman in Scotland very wealthy.

Actually when I think of it,. Paolo's are hands down better! Paolo pays much more attention to detail, and he does something else that JK doesn't do: He drops little subtle hints all through the chapter that we'd damned well better remember in upcoming chapters because they are important. I am still licking my wounds over XY-N, and all the hints and tips I missed as the story went along.

Paolo,

you've done it again! chapter 15 is beautiful, exciting, breath-taking and just pure adventure. it's delightful -- i just wish i had written it

i can't wait for more to come -- especially chapters with oliver wood.

keep up the fantastic work.

Thank you, thank you.

I'm glad everyone is enjoying this ... right now, I'm waiting for the floor to dry, so to say, as I've painted myself into a corner!
