Great stuff here, thanks all.
ST, Your the first person I ever met who knew Donald Hamilton, wish I knew more about his early life.
Joe, My favorite Steven Hunter is "Pale Horse Coming" the one with Elmer Keith, Jack O'Connor and the gang.
The last Wilbur Smith is great, one of the main characters is Kermit Roosevelt. I don't know the name because it's lost somewhere in the house but if you have not read it I can send it your way if you will return same. But first I have to find it ;-).
For the record my favorite book, and I don't believe there are any or many firearms in it, is "The Earth Abides" by George R. Stewart 1949.
Good subject, keep them coming and I can stock up for the winter.
