    Lets see I've got Hunt , Cardinal of the Kremlin Pat games, Bear and the Dragon, Clear And Present Danger. all paper back and ... well .. well used. LOL I've had them 20+ years and they have been read 3-4 times each and i think I got half of em used to start with .

    Also got "Dead or Alive" in hardcover brand new never even opened... (my drunk amazon mistake) I think if I could get 5-10 bucks for that I'd be happy ..

    ZT gets first shot

    Well, hell. I'll give you a Jackson for the whole collection. Maybe meet up for a burger or something and complain about the .gov while we're at it.

    He hasn't really been writing much of his own since ops center came out. I can't read most of the co-authored stuff. If you want to hear the gruff old guy school some hollywood snob listen to the directors commentary of the sum of all fears.

    Teeth of the Tiger was one of my all time favorite books. “If you want to kick the tiger in his ass you'd better have a plan for dealing with his teeth”
