Since you don't have an e-mail, I'm just posting my response to your review here real quick.

1) The whole "Gamble" thing was a mistake. I used my computer's thesaurus to find a synonym to "risk." "Gamble" just sounded the best. It was purely coincidental.

2) Most of the story remains Clinton and politically-free from here on out. Clinton will make one more appearance at the end and when a third party is introduced into the story, there will be some anti-American rhetoric, but nothing more.

3) Just an interesting side-note: Clancy is well known for making his political points known. He is very right-wing and, unlike me, he is very subtle about letting you know. But there are enough vibes that if you pay attention closely, you'll see his stance. I won't go into my reasons for not liking Clinton so I can avoid an argument, but just know I really don't like the guy

Hope this clears things up. Thanks for reading!

It's still going good, but there are a few things I'd like to point out-
1)Wouldn't this type of briefing be conducted by his superiors at Langley?
2)If this was a conspiracy that went all the way to the top, wouldn't it be more likely that they would send a junior agent to be sacrificed rather than knock out a senior agent?
Just pointing some things out for future reference. Still a good story. Write more.

Well, this story is a far cry better than anything I could write! Excellent job! You are very good at setting a stable background, and using imagery to have a great effect. Just FYI, I post off of an iMac, but it came with Word on it. If you are still having trouble uploading, You can contact me with a review.

Thanks so much for your review. I really liked this story, I think it has some potential. Oh yeah, my chapters are short so far becuase they are just introduction chapters. They will get longer as they progress.

You're still thirteen, right? You know a hell of a lot more about the CIA than I did back when I was that age. If you want to get better, though, I could give you tips and hints on the CIA, as I know have a working knowledge of it. (If you don't believe me, read my new novel-in-progress, Les Ames Perdues). Good story. Hope to see more.
