Discussion of "Taming the Beast" by redshift

Really, really great, red! I especially liked your calling in Red Adair...;o). I've been a big fan of his since my uncle introduced me to him long ago and far away in Texas. I've a tiny problem with verisimilitude, because Red was 75 when he extinguished the fires in Kuwait in 1991.
He'd have to be 80 something in your story..or dead (he died in 2004).

Regardless... I loved how you brought him into the story and the detailed description of hooking up the net was excellent. You lost zero speed in the story, kept the tension high and delivered some educating information. Really good stuff!!

Thanks for the great comments. I actually had no idea Red Adair was dead. I'm going to have to research my material more carefully!
