Summaries
After the attempt on Ambassador Bartosh’s life, Bodie and Doyle must look after their 9-year-old twins, Anton and Pavlo before sending them back to Ukraine, but this trip will not be as easy as much the CI5 style, -- coin toss -- to know who would go in front of the car...
Reactions/Reviews
I don’t know much about labels, the author, ci5matesRN, describes A Matter of Survival as ‘gen’ and I’m never that clear what the difference is between ‘gen’ and ‘het’. Anyway, it’s a damn good read which at times had me on the edge of my seat with no more nail left to bite off my already bitten-down nails. It reads like an episode but with the added bonus of having the time to know and absorb the characters’ thoughts and anxieties in a typically hair-raising CI5 situation. At times I felt almost beside myself with the plight and anguish of the respective characters - even Cowley (don’t want to give the game away) and the whole story just swept me away. And, and, and........apart from everything I’ve just mentioned, this was a *first* story from the writer. Amazing. [2]
Wow you can write and keep the suspense going. I am in awe. Thanks so much for sharing this story. This has to be one of the best if not the best action story I have read in a while and I am not just saying that. You have a wonderful way with words. [3]
LOL, I almost think you wrote this just for me and my love for Bodie hurt! You did a brilliant job for a first fic and I enjoyed the story very, very much! Especially what you (they) did to Bodie sounded pretty painful and I suffered with him 'til the end. I really hope this will trigger more stories from you in the future, maybe a slashy one too? [4]
