  For anyone keeping track at home, five days of paid advertising on a half-dozen websites, plus the mention of the book here, translates to about sixty visits to the book's website… and zero sales, as far as I can tell.
  Good thing I'm not quitting my day job any time soon. 🙂

  Finished the novel. Great book! Thank you for making it available. I'm definitely hoping for some more. BTW, whatever did the mother think of the anti-tank rifle? 😉

  Thanks for the compliments! It takes a lot to shock or surprise the mother, so I can't imagine she was too bothered by it. Given all the other things going on in her life, I suspect it'll wind up in a closet somewhere, half-buried and forgotten… until some day where another crisis arises, and someone foolishly says "damn, this would be such an easy problem to resolve if we just had something capable of putting a big hole in things from way far away" when Al is within earshot. 🙂
  Not that I planned a sequel or anything, really. But I figure a handful of dysfunctional college students could easily get into – or put an end to – some mighty entertaining mischief with access to military hardware. Especially given that none of them actually have any experience using firearms.
