It's been almost two years since "Teeth of the Tiger" was released........he should be do for the follow on since TOTT sort of left you hanging. I have been combing the web and have not heard or seen any hint of when his next book is coming out.
Anyone out there have a clue?
TC: are you lurking today?
Lots of freepers have given up on him since He turned on Dubya over the war.
FWIW, I believe it's related to his divorce
I had all of his books and put them in hte trash.
Unles he says he is sorry to W, I will never buy another of his books.
I used to wait for his books to come out, this time I didn't even know there was a book out TOTT.
I put him in with Spain, which by the way, it was reported they were bombed the other day, and I said "so, and your point is?".
I gave up on him when he stopped writing his own books.
What did he say? I never heard about this.
Reportedly, TOTT was the last book in the series.
Oh you know...the liberal talking points. "Wrong war, wrong time"...all that happy horse merde..
I attributed it to having a liberal wife and liberal friends.
His fiction has gotten to be so comic book lately, that I have lost interest.
But then, I thought Alec Baldwin was a crap actor even before he became a crap individual.
I gave up with "Rainbow Six". It was a hideous Mack Bolan techno-wet dream that any adolescent should have been ashamed of, much less a middle aged hack.
HAW!
I listened to the audiobook of that while exercising.
AWFUL.
I listen to a lot of audio books, and sometime the reader can make all the difference. Stay away from Caleb Carr if he's doing the reading... he got a lisp. Edward Hermann is a good bet as well as Beau Bridges.
IIRC, you could always tell (in the audiobook rendition of "Rainbow Six") when the narrator was reading a bad guy's part, because his voice got all snarky.
"Rainbow Six" was where I bailed too.
Here's a thought to fill you with dread... the unabridged audio book of Atlas Shrugged is 38 cassettes.
> shrug <
And the couple before that were a struggle. Great screen-name you got.
I find Clancy's books overly technical, unless you're a nuclear physicist or an engineer.
And his plots are only slightly less convoluted than Robert Ludlum's.
I would note that although Carr lacks as a reader, he's a a decent writer. "The Alienist" and "The Angel of Darkness" are pretty good summer reads.
I agree, but I prefer my own dulcet tones when reading his work.
