Recently while patrolling the Arabian Sea the mighty USS Monterey intercepted a local flagless ship called a dhow carrying a couple thousand rifles and anti-tank munitions. The haul was enough to cover the entire fantail when all laid out nice and pretty for the cameras.
It causes one to think what could be done with only a fraction of those weapons.
I bring this up for two reasons. The first is it is an impressive feat for the crew of the cruiser to keep these weapons – hopefully – out of the bad guys hands. The second reason is the Monterey is featured in Foreign & Domestic doing similar operations, but that portion was written a couple months ago. So, which is stranger: truth or fiction?

In other news I now have my second draft back from the editor. I am working my way through the final revisions. Then the e-book will essentially be ready to publish. More news to follow on that after the 20th.
Once the final edits are done I will have to send the page count and cover information over to the designers so they can mock up the paperback cover.
We are in the home stretch, and it is all coming together nicely.
Until next time, stay the course.
