I thought so too! whew
Well-deserved tribute, we all thank you.
His trilogy should be required reading in high schools across this nation. Of course, we all know that won’t happen.
I’m waiting for some Patriotic Conservative with big buck$ (Glenn Beck?) to offer to produce his books into a series of movies! They just might wake America up as to what our future looks like.
Good luck, Matt, and thank you for all you’ve done for us. You too, marktwain!
Nice looking mackerel.
I have given Matt’s books as gifts and they are very well received.
I think all of those books would translate to film very well.
Of course like anything else it would have to be done by someone who is talented.
I think “Castigo Cay” would be a great movie.
Matt’s suggesting of a coffee can on a piece of rebar at a 100 yards is the best target advise anyone’s ever given me.
Agreed. He’s the Mickey Spillane of patriotic realistic fiction but with more class.
Ah, I thought that was a link to just one book. Shoudha tried it.
Thanks.
I’ve read Matt’s trilogy and I was hooked from the start. His character development and detail he added were as good as any Vince Flynn novel. Knowing what I do about Matt, I also saw much of himself written into the characters (come on, building your own sailing yacht from an old racer, so Bracken).
If anything, I would encourage him to keep writing, and writing, and writing..... and I’ll pick up Castigo Cay and finish that.
Free Americans... Errr.. I mean Free Republic unite. :)
I sent the trilogy to my county sheriff’s office; actually I purchased them from Matt and he signed ‘em. That was about 1 1/2 years ago (?). THen about 3 months ago I met the Sheriff and when I introduced myself I told him I was the one who sent Bracken’s books “Enemies F and D”. His eyes lit up as he obviously remembered the books; in fact I called the office a few weeks after I sent them and she told me they were being read enthusiastically.
People should send them to every County Sheriff in the country. If I was wealthy I’d help do that.
Darn, I wish I read that one. I've been searching for the side of a dam to shoot. :)
His books are great. Anyone who has not read them is really missing out!
I’m guessing it’s the narrow side...the side buried in rock!
Durn hard to hit!!! :)
Hear hear!!
All in regards to Benghazi.
When I got Enemies Foreign and Domestic on my kindle, I had no idea who the author was, I just liked the description of the story.
As I was reading it, I kept thinking “wow, this guy should be a Freeper”. I had a good laugh later when I was reading FR and coincidentally saw someone’s post about Matt Bracken and his novels!!
Thanks for the post marktwain. Hey michigan-heads up.
