Here's a question (or two, they are related):

1)  Did Dean forget about the backblast of a straight arrow after already roasting himself in a previous book?  Or did he figure that the blast would just come straight back at him and not roast the other 2?

2)  Do we get to find out about answer of above question in the next book (either Pointblank or the next Starfist book)?  (I know Pointblank is Starfist but it's focused on Force Recon).

My gawd, but youse guise are demanding! Okay, here goes:

Deadshot;
I fully expect that Claypoole will live through the entire series, however long it goes. Along the way, he'll be occasionally promoted to higher positions. Howsumever, bear in mind that the focus of the books is on the guys doing the actual fighting, so as he goes up, his role in the books will likely go down. While there are characters that Dan writes more than I do, and others I write more than he does, it's more that we write different segments of the books than it is that we write different characters. Dan and I have known each other for, I don't know, something on the order of twenty-five years, maybe longer. We've been working together on these books since 1995.

Luec;
General Billie put his field army together mostly from available units. I think. Dan, can you elucidate? Pointblank is the Force Recon aspect of the Ravenette campaign, and has little direct contact with the forces on the ground. It overlaps Flashfire and Firestorm, but includes little that is in them.

Shadowghost1;
Hey, man, it was in the heat of the battle. Dean just grabbed the best weapon for the job--either that or let the invaders kill him and the others with him. Hmm. Mention it in Firestorm. That's a thought.

thank you, question in flashfire general billie menitioned to his aide that a marine lt general was included with the second wave of reinforcements. So what size marine force would you need to have a three star general in command.

two I am assuming that pointblank will include the info about the beach assault in flashfire and then some  aspects on what is going to occure in firestorm without having it spoil the next book.

I figured it was that, just needed to make sure Dean wasn't losing his mind or anything of the sort.

So will Dean also be sticking around for the rest of the series?

Thanks for answering all our questions.
