Judging by the reader comments from the last of his books I reviewed, \u201cI, Sniper,\u201d Stephen Hunter has lots of fans here. They\u2019ll be happy to know that another in his Bob the Nailer series is coming out.<\/p>\n

\u201cDead Zero<\/a>\u201d will be available in hardcover or in Kindle format, more or less just in time for Christmas, a phrase that probably bears some explaining. Announced release date is December 28.\u00a0 However, Amazon is taking advanced orders, and I\u2019m sure your bookstore will take your money and reserve one for you or your favorite giftee.<\/p>\n

With favorite authors, fans accept IOUs.<\/p>\n

Rifle folks and those in the training community will recognize some of the adapted characters and organizations. While the .50 Browning Machine Gun ammo used by some of the bad guys hits with more inertia than any I\u2019ve seen, it\u2019s the book\u2019s inertia that fans will be looking for, and a pace that keeps the reader turning pages is a signature of Hunter\u2019s considerable writing talent.<\/p>\n

For those who\u2019ve followed the Swagger saga, from WWII veteran Earl to his Vietnam era son Bob Lee Swagger, there\u2019s a third generation introduced in this novel. That\u2019s about all the \u201cspoiler\u201d I should probably divulge.<\/p>\n

I found \u201cDead Zero\u201d an enjoyable read, and we\u2019ll have some other gift book suggestions for gunnies in this space shortly<\/p>\n
