Section 17, 'When the Sleeper Wakes' enclosed, in 27:08:

Even includes a bonus track - a brief history of Scotch Highlanders - which was also interesting (if less grand than perhaps descendants thereof might have imagined).

Thank you,
Brize

It is wonderful to get this in.
Thank you for this!

Great job, Brize! Really well done with this book. I do have a couple of final comments:

At 3:17
Written “Not around me”
Spoken “Not around here”

I'm not sure that it was necessary to say the “end of section 17”, since saying it is the end of the book by title followed immediately. But … also wondering if not saying “The End” as written in the text, is okay. I realize that adds up to a lot of "ends"! Personally, I’d rather hear "The End" than saying the end of the section. Admin choice, I guess. :wink:

Hi Betsy,
It is the standard script to say both, end of the section and end of the book, so we better stick to that.
Thanks!

Good catch, Betsy. My imagination pushed aside the reality of the words on the page...again! I also added the 'The End' prior to my closing (you're right, the words ARE there) and also tightened up the closing of chapter and book - makes it seem more like one big announcement (which I agree is an improvement) while sticking to the LV protocal. 27:08 length.
