Bateleur, by former PH and current safari guide Craig Doria is now available and shipping. Details and order info here: www.whistlingthornpress.com

Think you guys will like it. It's not your typical thriller.

I am running a promo for free shipping on Bateleur just now if anyone is interested. Just use code TUSK at checkout. Also, I do not collect tax except for fellow Idahoans. US addresses only - sorry to my international friends here. I am working on getting them in the UK/Europe.

Sixguns by Kieth

Reading Shotguns by Keith. Looking for Sixguns

 

[Rumrunner]

Just finished Project Hail Mary

Just read Armoured and Sentinel. Will be starting the Grey Man series soon.

I plan to read them in sequence. The first was different enough from the movie to hold my attention. I won't lie though: I kept picturing Ryan Gosling.

Reading them in sequence is best. I just finished "Midnight Black". Greaney can tell a good action story.

Citizenship Revolution

Excellent academic work on the alien and sedition act and the evolving view of what it meant to be an American in the late 1700s and early 1800s as the nation was forming its identity.

Has some interesting application to debates today.

About 2/3 through "To Ride, Shoot Straight, And Tell The Truth" by "the pope" Jeff Cooper

That book is one of my all time favorite books. A must read for any young (or old) man.

This week am reading "The Snowman of Zanzibar" by G D Wallis. He has a series of novels that all feature the same leading character and are all set in parts of Africa. This is my 3rd read of his books and have found them to be entertaining and written in such accurate terms that the reader is taken to places like Windhoek Namibia, Capetown South Africa and Tanzania. When he describes the places I have visited, it is like I have returned in full detail and that makes it easy to do the same when he writes about those I have yet to visit.

I prefer history and first person narratives but have found these books to satisfy my yen to return to Africa until I can.

Thank you! And thanks for the mention of GD Wallis - I will check out those books. Some of Bateleur happens to take place in Zanzibar.

A cuckoo in Kenya by Robert Foran. Not so much about big game hunting but a fascinatingly well detailed history of East Africa at the beginning of the last century. He arrived to farm in Kenya, joined the British East African Police and served in Nairobi and Mombasa amongst other places.

Just started Death in the Long Grass by Capstick. It definitely starts with some "Action".

I didn’t realize there was a movie. Books are always better. I read all series in sequence as well if I can. Sometimes it’s hard to find some of the books. Might have to break down and buy an Ereader! Besides Greaney, some of the other authors’ series that I’m working my way through are Lee Child, John Sandford, Michael Connelly, Jack Carr and Ted Bell. Started picking up Brad Thor books as well, but won’t start reading them until I get some of these others finished.

The Corps by W.E.B. Griffin. I'm in book 9 of the series now.

 

[Hunt anything]

The Corps by W.E.B. Griffin. I'm in book 9 of the series now.

This is a great series, he has a couple more. One is about the OSS and at least one more that I can’t remember. It just came to me, Brotherhood of War was another good series by him.
W. E. B Griffen lived in our small Alabama town. My wife has a cousin that was friends with him. I haven’t heard his name in a long while and don’t even know if he’s still alive.
William Butterworth is his actual name.

I just wrapped up an Alistair Reynolds book, and I have some H. Rider Haggard on deck. Changing it up from the theology and African hunting that’s been on the palate lately.
