Bulldog Five - the Sequel!!!!

I've started writing the eagerly asked for sequel to Bulldog Five, but maybe I could make this a wee bit of fun as well.

 

Just like the previous work, the storyline of the book will entail many characters (some new but most from the first book). Each will have independent story arcs that span the novel eventually joining up as the novel reaches the conclusion . I work best this way and find this approach lends itself to developing new ideas and temporary characters  such as the Chinese characters in the previous novel; important for the storyline but only appearing in their own bubble.

 

So really I wanted to ask for suggestions from you, the people who have bought or downloaded the first book, how do you feel the characters should develop? Which characters did you like best or which ones would you like killed off????!!!

 

Think about the main characters, and I'll start with a few hints to how they've played out so far:

 

HMS Astounding - Nuclear powered hunter submarine that rescued Prince Harry from Hirta on the last pages of the first book.

Commanded by - Lieutenant Commander Thomas Monroe (newly named character)

Executive Officer - Lieutenant Emma Flynn (newly named character)
