Chapters of my novel (covert operations & intelligence)

Posts that don't fit into any other category. If it's anything to do with guns, it probably doesn't belong here!

Vishal,
I applaud your imagination, your content and your drive to get this book out but before you do so, please get it proof read. If you are going to write in English, you must learn to use articles ("a", "an" and "the") in your sentences. You might think of this as nit-picking but it will save you a lot of grief when you try to publish it. In its present state, no matter how relevant or interesting your content is, if your manuscript lacks the proper usage of grammar, a proof reader won't make it past the first two paragraphs before tossing it.

In languages that employ articles, every common noun, with some exceptions, is expressed with a certain definiteness (e.g., definite or indefinite), just as many languages express every noun with a certain grammatical number (e.g., singular or plural). Every noun must be accompanied by the article, if any, corresponding to its definiteness, and the lack of an article (considered a zero article) itself specifies a certain definiteness. This is in contrast to other adjectives and determiners, which are typically optional. This obligatory nature of articles makes them among the most common words in many languages—in English, for example, the most frequent word is the

The emphasis is mine.
“Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense” — Winston Churchill, Oct 29, 1941

Thank you xl_target. I really appreciate your feedback. I'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind. The thing is, I am not able to write regularly. And whenever I do, I upload it ASAP without proof-reading/editing. A friend of mine who has experience in editing has promised to do editing for me once I have penned down few more chapters.

Hello bhai log,

Please help me select a good title for my novel. It is a spy-thriller focused on South-East Asia and involves covert operations as well. For those of you who would like to have more details, here's the link introductory post. - http://frustrated-fuse.blogspot.com/201 ... -fuse.html

Waiting for your suggestions.

I gave some thought to it since the story takes place in several locations I gave it the title "Hunt in the Maze"

I am calling mine(the one I am writing) as "The Detachment"
You haven't lived until you have been close to death,for those who fight life has a different flavor that the protected will never know.

Thanks Boris. Have you posted your novel anywhere?

Hunt in the Maze. That sounds good. Any other title. Involving animals to denote strength and guile?
