Okay - time for a another Kodiac Rant.
I just finished (took all of about two hours) the Latest book in the Rogue Warrior series.
At first I found Dick's books rather refreashing - low brow knuckle dragging action.
This last book... Was a SITCOM - and that isnt a milspec acronym.
Okay - we all know he was convicted of a felony... I dont think he can legally own a gun. If thats true - then we can all show some sympathy. If not - well - then cool. I wouldnt mind going shooting with the man.
But his books... have become TIRED.
In his latest he takes on Chinese evil persons... Okay - with the China Gate thing, its rather timely. But...
He writes himself in the story as CLOWN. Sorry, Dick. Look - stay on your feet. You fall over and off of things and into things so often - You drink that Sea Water you swim in? Your the clumsiest charicter in fiction next to "HERO" from "A Funny thing happened on the way to the Forum"!
Your stories are clever - But you make huge jumps of logic and your charicters are way too stereotyped. Here is an idea for you. Read some Tom Clancy books... See, his charicters can be fallible and not look like they are wearing Mc Donald's shoes.
Still... It was a fun and fast read. Light and airy... But I dont think I will bother with another.
When's the next Clancy coming out?

and subjugated by a federal government which exceeds the powers
enumerated in the U.S. Constitution.
