very cool   
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Excellent price, too.

Thanks Marshall for posting that. Another copy sold.

I'm kinda glad gun magazines are the "red headed step-child", of journalism, it keeps it real.

Sounds like another movie will be down the road...
Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

 So, Steven Hunter got to kill off Jane Fonda, and 2 of BO's Cronies, ;D  Cool  ;D
I'd like to see him do some more books about Earle Swagger.

I read the first few pages on Amazon.  I'm in!  The Bill Ayers like character get his as well in the first 5 pages.  Good stuff.

Happened to be in a Barnes & Noble Wednesday in Macon and grabbed "I, Sniper" along with a few other Hunter books. Can't put it down. Great read so far.


I see MB got first dibs on the "Tip of the Hat" page in the book..........COOL!!!!!!     ;)

Just finished it! (Am I the first, apart of course from Michael)?

Another ripping good Swagger yarn, but then we expect no less!

Some very familiar names in the last chapter.  ;)

Spoiler Warning: Don't read this one before Time to Hunt, lest the latter be spoiled for you.
And he's dreaming about an intruder or two
And the promise of burglar blood,
And he's yearning to chew on a gangster tattoo
And to hear the proverbial sickening thud...

--Warren Zevon, "Rottweiler Blues," Mutineer c1995
