I bought Brad Thor's new book "Backlash" off Amazon. I got it yesterday,. In this case, one of his started it last night + stayed up all night to finish it because I couldn't put it down. His whole series is good but I was really entranced with this one. I enjoy books, where the subject matter is well researched +, is factual. One of his reference assistants was Marcus Luttrell (of 'Lone Survivor')

His books are a good read. I call books of this type cock raising adventures.

I got turned on to him after reading his interview in The American Rifleman. That was a good endorsement so I checked him out + bought all of his books since. I appreciate factual descriptions of weaponry. My MAJOR reading turnoff is when the hero "releases the safety catch on his automatic revolver", etc. That guy just lost a reader as he now has no credence.

Or after shooting a Glock empty, the "click" of the hammer on an empty chamber...I think Dan Brown owns at least one of those...

"the smell of cordite" Many authors.

True that. Hemingway once said, "Write about what you know + not too long after it happened."
