Hah! It pays to be persistent, indeed! I was the one who said, right from the start when Clark woke up and was trying to work out who his captors were, that one had to be Lex!
Excellent work, Paul! I remember you saying a few times over the years that you had difficulty writing and
finishing long stories, but you did it here, and very nicely too. I like your Lois: she's smart and determined and not easily fooled. I'm so glad that she figured out how like Lex Luthor 'Robert Maxwell' was!
Lovely, WAFFy finish, too - and don't think we didn't notice how cleverly you managed to dispose of some unwanted roadblocks in the way of Lois and Clark's marriage!
There's just one thing I've been meaning to say for a while. It seems a weird coincidence that both you and Michael have used the name 'Robert Maxwell' for a villain in your stories: you do know of the real
Robert Maxwell , don't you?
Great work!
Wendy
