I don't think the perception that you had trained in the special forces to be competent at any field craft had taken hold yet.<br /><br />In this case, the "regular folks" are intentionally flawed. Some of todays books almost seem to have a moralistic happiness to them.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-47446174600799633922012-06-07T15:17:36.306-04:002012-06-07T15:17:36.306-04:00I recently picked this book up for $4 shipped, may...I recently picked this book up for $4 shipped, maybe Amazon. <br /><br />I rate the books I read with the "GK Keepability" ratio. If I didn't like it, I'll sell it or give it away.<br /><br />This book I'm going to keep. I have issues with the book but that's from the story's characters acting stoopid. Actually that might be the reason all the nowadays novels have sniper cum eagle scout as heroes. <br /><br />The book also has an element of despair that is lacking in today's EOTWAWKI novels. <br /><br />Might be the sign of the times.<br /><br />GKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-48139708137515490842012-06-07T12:36:00.171-04:002012-06-07T12:36:00.171-04:00Sorry, I posted the link.

Many of these books I am reveiwing are no longer in print, although somw of them have been re-released as e-books. Only rarely are the out of print books particularly expensive.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-14594040588014075462012-06-07T12:30:28.473-04:002012-06-07T12:30:28.473-04:00Interesting, but think I'll pass.
