Forum: Story Recommendations

If you want three great stories with a lot of action, a lot of humor, and no sex, read the stories about Needles and Delaney by Todd_d172: The Shack: An Angry Man: https://storiesonline.net/s/18342/the-shack-an-angry-man

The Shack: An Unreasonable Man: https://storiesonline.net/s/18872/the-shack-an-unreasonable

And The Shack: An Implacable Man: https://storiesonline.net/s/19218/the-shack-an-implacable

Perfect for taking your mind off the pandemic and Delaney might be more dangerous than COVID ever dreamed of being!

The entire Shack set of stories are excellent, although it helps to read them in the right order and those three pretty much come last. I think Todd posted the reading-order on Lit but just following the order in https://storiesonline.net/universe/921/tales-from-the-shack comes close enough.
https://storiesonline.net/s/16387/the-marker is the back story for one of the characters, not in the "universe" and set before any of the stories which are.

Most of his other stories - such as https://storiesonline.net/s/17722/mausfalle or https://storiesonline.net/s/21080/tequila-shuffle (stand alone) are also excellent.

Todd_d172's advise for the reading order: (not all on SOL)
1. Learning the Smugglers Blues
2. Gun Gun Teddy Bear
3. Shameless
4. Monster
5. Pogo and Spooky
6. Tales from the Shack: Nobody
7. The Shack: Necessary Evil
8. The Shack: Guardians (You can read "The Marker" here too - it isn't, properly speaking, a Tale from the Shack, but it does give the background of one of the minor characters)
9. Pogo's Very Long Day
10. Blue Topaz Eyes
11. Blue Topaz Eyes II (Emma's Tale)
12. Behind Blue Eyes
13. The Shack: A Parable of Wolves
14. The Shack: Ladykiller
15. The Shack: An Angry Man
16. The Shack: An Unreasonable Man
17. The Shack: An Implacable Man

Correction: they are all on SOL. "11. Blue Topaz Eyes II (Emma's Tale)" is chapter 2 of "Blue Topaz Eyes".

can someone give a brief synopsis of the stories? The descriptions don't say much,,thanks

Been a while, so I will probably mix bits up. Its a series of stories about ex military / special forces / spook types, some broken beyond being human but they learn how to fake it. The Shack is a beach side shack that they all end up at at some point in time. Think 'police bar' in a tropical setting for disreputable characters. Gun Gun Teddy Bear refers to the door kicker with the ability to instantly classify target target hostage. Monster is the team monster, the big guy, until he is brain damaged and becomes the real monster - he no longer feels human emotions and has to fake it to prevent being put down. There is a strong cast of characters, husbands, wives, girlfriends, bosses, corrupt governments, corporations and human traffickers.

The series is hard to categorize, not quite milfic. Is ex-milfic a genre? If you've read John Ringo then you will probably enjoy Todd_172s work.

And I understand the next Needles / Delaney story is well under way, when Todd and the Mrs get a chance to complete it.

thanks to everyone that responded
