Great chapter, love your work, 5 stars all day every day. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks, my favorite of your stories. Nobody listens to me anyway, but, more chapters is preferred. Enjoy your holidays, but Stay Safe.
Trouble always finds a way. As usual I really like the way you write action.
I love this tale, and as with most others I wish it was more often. That said Thank you for sharing with those of us who can not verbalize our inner story. 5Stars again and please keep sharing with the LIterotica groups.
"...that the Shariff cleared it himself." Unless you're deliberately showing an accent, that'd be a typo.
At this point I'm assuming "sooner than later." As opposed to "sooner rather than later" is a local dialect thing, not an accidental missing word.
Damn, you just couldn't resist that last sentence could you? Excellent, excellent, excellent as always. I'm now checking almost daily for updates to all your stories, you have me completely hooked. Thank you for your continued work!
Nice.
Now, about the sparesity of installments, which is true for all quaranteams writers, I feel that's more due to being them with patron.
Who, as I understand, limits writers to publish at different sites.
I am very curious if I ll live long enough to see even one of the stories finished.
Great writing as always.
Also, I really, really want Abi to consensually dominate one of the smaller women with her sheer size and muscle
Not sure that was the right move but I got a feeling death is coming down on that one group that was trying to recuit him.
Love the story, but - the cheap faux symbolism of Confederate flags? Really? If the world does go to shit, you’d better hope the descendants of those folks are on your side, as they have been a bulwark of American military efforts over the last 130 years. Just ask Joe Wheeler or Lt. Gen. Simon Buckner, the latter killed at Okinawa. Or stream Richard Pryor’s routine about why the Japanese lost WWII (they thought all Americans were typified by California, and didn’t realize there were guys in Alabama and Mississippi they kept in closets until there was a war), lol, peace/out.
Another great chapter. Can’t wait for more! More of all your ongoing stories actually
Great chapter and to be honest I am following this more for the story than the sex.
Amazing story! Absolutely love the Quaranteam Series. Already patiently waiting for the next episode in the North West series.
THANKS for the new chapter, really wish you and other Quaranteam writers could share more frequently. Do you need more editing assistants?
Which of the fitness girls will be next to join the family? Josie? Spencer? BTW what happened to Mary? Is she out of the story?
Gave you a 5. This time no emergency ending?
Do you read stories by the other authors? RonanJ Wilkerson has a story I wish other authors would take up. The Bunker is similar to Quaranteam.
Anyway I really enjoy all of these. And I like that you always include a cast list. I will be looking for the next one.
Gotta agree with MaresEatOats. Awesome story. Great premise and great writing as usual. Having said that, everyone questioning the narrative being assholes that run around bullying people sucks. Gonna keep reading cuz your stories are fire. And you’re committed to the current track so I understand.
This sounds a lot like the sitting-around-after-dinner stories of my father's extended family in tone and emotional content. They were loggers for Weyerhaeuser in Washington and Oregon. My grandmmther was from Bodie CA (quite a place during the gold rush) and they were pretty sturdy people. Thankfully most of them had more than a few brain cells, Many served in the military (Civil War, WWI, WWII, and several of us in the current generation Viet Nam and the Cold War), many were and have been educators, engineers, and other skilled folks. The care and concern shown by Harri and others, the rugged individualism, and the suspicion of outsiders are all wrapped up in the culture of the Pacific Northwest. Our Celtic and Nordic roots show heavily in our dedication and general lifestyles. BtB captures a lot of that nuance in this story. Thank you for entertaining us so well. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I read these Quaranteam stories by 7 different authors (about to start an 8th) but so far yours are my favorite.
Please don't take long to post the next chapter.
@mikeman Presumably Harri will just go visit them at the compound. It isn't like he isn't welcome there.
@Smartest1 I think in this particular author's case it's more like because he's working on like 4 or 5 different stories concurrently. I know for she he's doing this one, his Affection Multiplier branch, OnlyFans Girl, and Unexpected Affection. There might be other active stories of his that I'm not following, but I'm following those 4 at least for sure. Spreading himself so thin may suck from the perspective of readers who are only following one or two of these but I guess working on so many different stories helps prevent burnout because he's posting something for at least one of them on a pretty regular basis.
@MaresEatsOats I actually agree with your complaint, it's a pretty cheap boring cliche to do the whole "rednecks are all ignorant confederate flag waving morons" routine. But, in the author's defense, he's not American so he probably doesn't have anything but Hollywood stereotypes to go off of.
@the latest Anon I hope it's Josie AND Spencer. They're the only two that aren't described as giant muscle Amazon women so they're the two that I for sure want to join Harri's family lol.
keep this NW Quaranteam going. The adventures and challenges being faced by Harri and Leo's teams are the most conflicted of the various Quaranteam authors. There are many paths and challenges still ahead for Harri, and you're developing, and fleshing them out well. Keep'em coming!
Love the series. It's my favorite QT series.
Only gripe is Leo. Dude is just forgotten about? An armed attack, and he was just on the toilet or something? Same with the last emergency. Dude is just never there. Seems like he's just forgotten. Same with his partners, other than Dani. Either have him be a person, or have him move away or something.
@ the confederation flag 'people'.
Am glad you're expressing my sentiment on those traitors. No concept they have about sense, democracy and meanwhile keeping the country hostage at all important issues (for I consider the bulk of republicans coming from those states)
Great story so far. All of your stuff is great. Try not to dwell too strongly on Political themes, the people are divided enough already.
@smartest1 - why is it the dumbest people feel the need to spout opinions like they know anything? The Confederacy fought for a lot of different reasons, and the politicians coming from the south both before and after the Civil War were Democrats. I know this as someone born and raised in the Midwest, so what is your excuse? Your lack of knowledge of history, and need to inject your CNN-fueled misinterpretation of current politics, shows just how easily misled petty and small minded people like you are. Stick to sucking down your current diet of Dem lies or leave it at the door to enjoy the story.
Please keep the politics out of both the comments and Lit stories, I once heard someone wiser than myself say that a political opinion was like a butthole, everyone has one, but nobody wants to see someone else’s. Regards, Ppfzz.
Once again, the guy who ought to have a strong will is being pushed around at the whims of others. This isn't realistic. I get that Harry inadvertently caused an issue with Spencer, but he had nothing to apologize for, and ought not have. It doesn't make sense for rhe character thst is supposed to be being portrayed.
Why do neo-Confederates doofuses act like it's a big secret that the Democrat Party used to be the party of slavery? Read up on the Civil Rights Movement, the Great Realignment of 1964 & the Southern Strategy to understand what happened to US politics in the 50's & 60s & understand why that's no longer relevant.
And while the people of the Confederacy may have various reasons the politicians were fighting for one reason. Slavery. The Articles of Confederation even specifically prohibited states from outlawing slavery. So much for States Rights.
Great Chapter! And as someone currently living in the part of California that wants to break off and join with Eastern Oregon and Washington to form the. “state of Jefferson”, his down and dirty characterization of the rednecks- with the flags, conspiracy theories, ‘sovereign citizen’ bullshit, and casual relationship with laws, hygiene, and gun safety are all- near as I can tell after ten years among them- spot. The. Fuck. On. Might hurt some peoples feeling but that says more about them the. It does the author lol.
Is he that dumb? Yep. Def his army bud Barry's buds and their little place they get together. Miram never talks about hey these girls will be good to add to the vaccinated. He's still storming off not caring about dying. The les part was good. How are they getting vacced. How are kids going to be? That's right they Aren't. So just young and middle aged good looking random sex women and not scientists or doctors or nurses. Even the workers got some nurses. Wouldn't it have been smarter to have Harri match up with some super smart super important people first and not just randos who in the end don't really matter? The story is just really going downhill and nowhere at all. I don't care about all the military stuff. I don't care about all the negative stuff. They don't think they need a wall? Get real. That place should have been set up as impossible to get into as soon as they started building it. It should have remained a secret or well guarded from day one. The compound should have multiple guards posted. Everywhere should be cameras. A couple guards at a shack? Common. Cities are falling apart. Millions are dying. And they're moving in with half a dozen more girls. Yea no problem. Like miram wouldn't be like no we will get more security for you. You think those women are gonna love leo fucking his women all the time? Do you think that's polite of him to do so? Now they're rubbing in they're vaccinated in their face and it's just a horrible story now cause the male lead just had to run around like an idiot while saying I'm sorry and I love you way way way too much. He has no trust in anything. Uses love when it's lust.falls more in love with when having or after sex. Hardly anything has been done on the land so far other than clearing it. Every moment turns into head scratches and whys and his attitude and conversations and induendos he doesn't get and gets angry and embarrassed and this and that is off putting. I've never met a guy like that. Never would wanna meet a guy like him. He's always at the wrong place and then just shows up in time to do this or that and everyone's like omg you're the best. Ick.
To all my fellow Anonymous commenters: Have you written anything for anyone but a teacher to read? --- Some of you don't like that Big Strong Harri defers to the women so much. One, a secure person often does that to make sure the team members feel included. Two, I think the author is using this as a method of giving some agency to the women in the story and giving the reader an opportunity to understand these characters as more than cookie-cutter sex servants. As far as how stupid Harri is and how he hasn't put it all together - If you other Anonymous readers would stop and think you might realize that the author is not giving us scenes, moments in time, for the character - the moments meaningful to the story. Harri is experiencing more in this time than is spelled out in the scenes. Do you, readers, think that the "Barry" crew are the only aggressive rednecks that exist in Oregon? Were you paying attention to the author's writing that clearly shows that looting and other lawlessness is rampant in this imagined Oregon? --- Your criticism are unfair and short-sighted.
Great story and exceptionally well written. But dude..it’s “Sargents Major” , not “Sargent Majors”. Also very much enjoy your other works.
I’m sorry, but the “we have no idea who it is that did this” is quite frankly ridiculous.
You telegraphed it earlier. Almost from the first chapter! It’s the the arseholes up at “Beaver” they stole from the grocery store first, no one stopped them, so they upped their game and attacked the Rez (anyone who has any knowledge of crime will know that anyone who isn’t white is often referred to as “the less dead” in crime documentaries), then they looted the houses along Mary’s street, Harri’s response to that probably scared them a little, but that was vigilante action rather than actual law enforcement, so they probably kept doing that for a while, attacking “Black County” probably wouldn’t have happened without everything being shut down because of the outbreak. Probably. They’re bullies and bullies don’t start shit unless they “know” they can win.
Plus the mention of the “murder board” previously and the dudes interrogating the construction workers about “what’s really going on” in this chapter?
If Harri (who we have been told in this chapter has done investigations in the past) can’t work that out then I’m calling him a lucky idiot for managing to stop the guy who was trying to assault Miriam. The fact that he hasn’t already done so is quite frankly annoying the shit out of me.
Merriam-Webster online dictionary says EITHER sergeant majors OR sergeants major are acceptable plural forms.
Just a reply to the other anons, while who know who this probably is, this is Oregon. It's full of rednecks and militia nutjobs and redneck militia nutjobs.
I agree with anon 3 months ago. He is either completely fucking stupid, or it's just a shitty plot contrivance by the author... Why the fuck didn't he do anything about the res arson and theft or the grocery theft or the looting?! It's pretty obvious who it is. I also don't like the "banter" all the gf's except Kyla are being cunts!
That is it for, my constructive criticism.
