Free Fall

Misleading

I thought this story was about Izzy saving the day. Nope, it's about Eden's little brother, her gay little brother, with all the "cut and paste" paragraphs we hear every time someone gay is mentioned. You know, the ones about how wonderful, insert name here, treats them because they're gay and special. I know that's not what SB is trying to do, but that is the impression I get from her words. Why not have a little more dialog between characters so we can hear how wonderful they are? And stop the moralizing, please! That's not a story, it's a sermon.

Nice rhythm & simple story

Good vignette highlighting teamwork between SEAL team members and their families. Honesty, as well as acceptance and tolerance of diversity are major themes

Good for a short story

I would recommend this short story to Troubleshooters readers. It’s nice to revisit the familiar characters. Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Ewbank do a great job narrating.

great little short

This short has two storylines - The Seals training day includes a HAHO jump where Tony has trouble, then Izzy, when he helps. Adam picks up Ben when he gets into a school fight, as Dan and Izzy are out in training. Eden goes to an out of town wedding shower with Jennilyn, who is 8 months pregnant. Lawlor does a great job of narration. Ewbank is ok as narrator.

Love it!

Brockmann's Troubleshooters are the best! I can't wait for more because the characters are so well developed and make such great dynamics within their teams, partnerships and families!
