Thanks for your review. Helpful in many ways. I'm interested in seeing what other readers think about the 'rapid-fire' style of writing for action scenes. I'm not entirely comfortable with it myself and it's still in the experimental stages. Previously, I had written in a bit more leisurely mode, but below is one of the criticisms (valid, I might add) I received in my last professional critique for an earlier rev of this work from an editor at Random House: "Action scenes can be very tricky to write because you need to convey a lot of information very quickly so that you don’t lose that sense of action and danger. I would recommend you experiment with using shorter sentences for these scenes as this helps to convey a sense of action...". So, jury's still out on whether or not it works. Maybe I need to find a happy medium (that doesn't mean a jolly fortune-teller, by the way) between leisurely and stark. Thanks again. Cheers.
