Hi Wayne, you seem to take care of one villain after the other. Putin out of the window seems very fitting. Trump gone, now Putin. What a bonanza. I wish it was for real. Ulla:)))

Phil took care of a serious problem (Putin) and had a serious problem (getting out of Russia), but all is well that ends well (Putin is dead). I agree with Phil. Who will he be next?

Lol. Phil certainly has a VERY dramatic life. Not sure which would be worse, becoming Trump or becoming Putin. Your imagination for getting them out of awkward situations is boundless! Well done.

Well, I'm rather mystified. Was the Pope case already solved and the cardinal who was guilty of pedophilia stopped?
Now poor Phil is in Putin's body and Tom somehow gets to be alone with him which is highly unlikely as Putin doesn't trust anyone. I think there are many trying to assassinate him but he knows how to keep everyone very scared of him.
You imagination is going wild, Wayne. I can barely keep up!

I think these stand-alone stories following 34 chapters of the Trump story have reviewers reeling a bit, maybe expecting much more.
There was no pedophilia in the story. The bad guy was a priest who was messing with the Pope's meds. Pellier was a Cardinal who the Pope knew would not attend the next conclave, but the pope felt drawn to see to it that he did attend (presumably because God wanted him elected).
In this story, Phil and Tom manage to push Putin out a window. The next story takes us to Myanmar.
If I self-publish this (for myself and my family, probably), do you think I need a distinct separation, more than the Tahiti and new identities chapter?
Thank you for your very kind review.
Thank you

I certainly needed more background. Perhaps in between the chapters, you can give a little list of the history of the country and what's been happening. We need that for Myanmar for sure! 💖

Great job again. I really enjoyed how you brought suspense into your story! Your writing kept me interested with the twists and turns. I loved the dialogue between Tom and Phil - it felt so natural. And it was funny like the trial of "teaching Putin English" - so funny. The way you built up to the final escape was clever. Can't wait to see where you take these characters next! Keep up the great work!

Thank you! And thank you for 'getting it'. Some reviewers were expecting a long story for the Pope and Putin, both, as was the case with Trump.
Next, we go to Myanmar (pre earthquake).

The two sure had a difficult time mutin' Putin. Who will Phil be next? Reminds me of the time when I had morphed out of Lawrence of Arabia's body, dry from the time in the desert. Before I could get a drink, I morphed into the body of an old, bearded man. I couldn't take it any more. "Water!" I cried, "Water!" Then I realized I was Noah.

Thank you for your very kind review.
Next, we stay in politics, but of quite a different nature.
