Hello All.

I have just posted this video of a critical scene from The Mighty Roman. It's a key scene in Chapter 7 *** SPOILER ALERT ***  so be aware that it will eliminate a little of the suspense if you watch it before you get there in your reading. In this scene, the vegetarian team-captain Rex discovers to his dismay that the teams' deep sea cruise is a fishing trip. Be advised, this scene is intense, and does contain profane dialogue necessary to an authentic depiction of the characters. Thanks for visiting.
