The fifth Will Kane book, NO QUARTER, is out today in eBook, paperback, and, something new, hardcover. And, it’s also in Kindle Unlimited.
This was a tough book to write because Kane goes through another transition in it. We do finally find out who the triggerman was on the Cambodia mission years previously, but Kane, in the present, is dealing with an adversary who seems to be one step ahead of him. As all my books do now, the story evolved with deeper implications for the figured into the plot.
The ending, all leaves Kane’s future wide open. My goal in the next book will be more action in a Jack Reacher style where Kane runs into trouble on the road. But who knows?
The book before this one, Hell of a Town, is only .99 today, through the 4th
With the 4th of July coming up, Independence Day (Time Patrol) is free starting today through Sunday, the 4th. Roland’s mission in that book to Gettysburg on the 4th, 1863, is one of my favorites. You can listen to it for free on Soundcloud, here.
With Amazon now opening up hardcover publication, I have put The Green Beret Preparation and Survival Guide into hardcover. I also plan on doing a 25th Anniversary special edition hardcover of Area 51, with a new forward about how I came up with the idea so many years ago and how the storyline evolved. Hard as it is to believe, it was originally slotted to be a stand-alone title. The second in a two-book deal with Random House. And the original title wasn’t Area 51.
With the holiday weekend fast approaching, let’s all stay safe! Here’s a link to an article I wrote about always wearing a life vest when on the water and why I decided to do it and how it might have saved my life. Treat a life vest like the seat belt in a car. It does no good if it’s not on!
For those who haven’t heard, Gus passed at the end of last month. He had a great 14 years and will always be in our hearts. Scout is doing well and our new rescue puppy, Maggie, a long-haired German Shepherd who is just over four months old, had surgery last week (part of the reason she was a rescue as she had been slated to be a service dog, but was rejected) and is healing well although she hates the cone of shame as much as Gus did.
Enjoy the weekend!
Bob
And Scout.
And Maggie.
Bob, I was saddened to read of Cool Gus’s passing. I lost my dog, Sophie, back on May 7. She was 11, not that old for a Yorkshire terrier, but suffered a stroke while outside playing ball. There’d been no indication of any health problems which might’ve led to it.
By the time we got her to the clinic, she was already likely gone, for all practical purposes. A few hours later, with no hope of recovery, we made the decision that all dog owners dread making, but all of them have to.
We have a pup reserved from the breeder from whom we adopted Sophie, and even better news, she is Sophie’s niece; her brother is the sire of the litter. In a few more weeks we will be bringing little Maisie home. But as terrific as I’m sure she’ll be, we will always grieve the loss of her aunt. Sophie was an almost-perfect dog; I say “almost,” because she was not immortal. In a physical sense, anyway; her spirit lives on, I’m sure, and we’ll be reunited with her one day. That faith has been what’s kept me going in the weeks since her death. I hope you share the same about Gus.
