I get all excited when I see a WIP that's become completed ... Now I look forward to getting engrossed in this story from beginning to end. What a lovely first chapter, such a dramatic contrast between Oliver's uncle and father. Very smooth writing, it's a pleasure to read.
Congratulations on such a successful and fascinating first chapter! This is a story that I hope will be posted at regular intervals. Your characterizations are spot-on; I love the contrast in opinion of Oliver's uncle and father. It's very easy to see which man Oliver wants to emulate. I'm looking forward to your next chapter.

Hi Arnel,
Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I have thirteen chapters completed, so yes, the intervals will be quite regular. Chapter two is already with my beta. Hope you enjoy!
Looks like an interesting story. I really like your Oliver, I think... Love the man you've made out of him. And I'm eager to know how his relationship with his father develops.

Hi Evelyn,
Thanks so much for reading! Well- you've hit on two major themes of the story - Oliver's maturation, and his relationship with his father. We'll see how he comes out on both!
This looks wonderful.
I'm very interested to ride along with Oliver at the beginning of his career.
Great idea! Nice tight wrighting.
