HUNTER, STEPHEN Black Light
Island Books April 7, 1997 0-440-22313-X / 9780440223139 Paperback Near Fine
With a flourish of authorial prestidigitation, through this action-packed t ale of revenge Hunter transforms the seemingly unrelated Point of Impact an d Dirty White Boys, his most recent-and most critically acclaimed-novels, i nto parts one and two of a trilogy. In the process, Hunter confirms his sta tus as one of the most skilled hands in the thriller business. Former Marin e sniper Bob Lee Swagger has put his past behind him until he meets Russell Pewtie, who wants to write a book about Bob Lee's father, Earl, a state tr ooper who died in a shoot-out in Blue Eye, Ark., in 1955. The link between Pewtie and Bob Lee, which ties the three novels together, is that Lamar Pye , the escaped con who almost killed Pewtie's father in Dirty White Boys, tu rns out to be the son of one of the men who killed Earl. Behind that death, it's revealed here, lies a 40-year-old conspiracy that is somehow tied to the brutal murder of a young black girl that Earl was investigating on the day he died. The plot is fast-paced, well-constructed and builds to a pulse -pounding night ambush that echoes the finale of Point of Impact but that s tands on its own as a classic one-on-one confrontation. Other echoes of the earlier novels sound as well, giving this one the feel of a recapitulation , or a farewell. But then Hunter has set a high standard for himself-and wh ile this novel doesn't match the escalating craziness of Dirty White Boys o r the stone-cold efficiency of Point of Impact, it should seal his reputati on as an author who not only can write bestselling thrillers, but write the m exceedingly well.

Hunter, Stephen Dirty White Boys
Dell November 5, 199 0-440-22179-X / 9780440221791 Paperback Very Good
After killing a black inmate, the brutal Lamar Pye breaks out of the Oklaho ma State Penitentiary along with his retarded cousin, Odell, and a hapless artist-turned-felon named Richard. They embark on a desperate run across Ok lahoma and Texas, pursued by state troopers. The escapees hide out with a c onvict groupie who has lived alone since murdering her parents as an adoles cent. In a parody of domesticity, Lamar embraces these losers as the family he never knew. Unlettered Lamar is a natural leader, more intelligent by f ar than his pursuers, but his gang screws up every time at a terrible cost in bloodshed. Hunter's (Point of Impact) portrayal of Lamar is unromantic b ut sympathetic. Lamar is a loser who never had a chance; he uses his short period of freedom to get his own back and to indulge in the mindless violen ce that is the only thing that truly satisfies and delights him. This serio comic chase thriller packs a punch.

Hunter, Stephen Havana : An Earl Swagger Novel (Hunter, Stephen)
Simon & Schuster October 2003 0-7432-3808-7 / 9780743238083 1st Edition Hardcover NF/NF
A highly collectible first edition/printing, tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. The term thriller is too pallid for this powerful, satisfying novel in the 1950s-set Earl Swagger series from bestseller Hunter (Time to Hunt; Hot Springs; Pale Horse Coming). At times the book reads as if it were chiseled out of granite, with Arkansas state cop Swagger hewn from the same impenetrable material. Swagger, ex-Marine Medal of Honor winner and legendary gunfighter, is called in by the American government to serve as bodyguard to Congressman Harry Etheridge in his investigation of New York-gangster criminal activity at the American naval base in Cuba. A reluctant Swagger signs on and soon finds himself touring Havana nightspots with a congressman more interested in participating in the city's culture of vice than in rooting out gangsters.

Hunter, Stephen Hot Springs (Earl Swagger Novels
Pocket June 1, 2001 0-671-03545-2 / 9780671035457 Paperback Very Good
A prequel to Stephen Hunter's three well-reviewed suspense thrillers starri ng Earl's son, former marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger (Point of Impact, Black Light, Dirty White Boys), Hot Springs is bloody, hard-boiled fiction at it s best. Hunter's precise descriptions of combat, hardware, and commando tra ining are rendered in spare, uncluttered prose, and the melodrama around a key subplot--Earl's tangled, love-hate relationship with his murdered fathe r--enhances rather than detracts from the novel's superb pacing and powerfu l narrative. Another subplot, involving Madden's rivalry with Bugsy Siegel, whose plan to create a rival sin city in Las Vegas threatens his own promi nence, is less successful, but that's a minor quibble. While it's the only part of Hot Springs that doesn't fully engage the reader, it highlights Hun ter's verisimilitude in depicting the heady post-World War II era. This is a highly readable book that should send grateful fans to Hunter's backlist as soon as they've turned the last page.

A highly collectible first edition/printing, tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition.

HUNTER, STEPHEN Time to Hunt
Island Books April 13, 1999 0-440-22645-7 / 9780440226451 Paperback Near Fine
When a sniper shoots a man in the mountains of Idaho and wounds the woman w ho is with him, it is not an isolated incident but the deliberate culminati on of events that began during the Vietnam War. Bob Lee Swagger, who was a Marine sniper in Vietnam known as "Bob for the Nailer" for his lethal shoot ing, at first believes that he was the gunman's intended target. The wounde d woman is his wife and the widow of his wartime comrade, Donny Fenn. Donny had been killed by a Russian sniper assigned the task of neutralizing Bob, or so Bob had always believed. But now it seems possible that Donny might have been the main target all those years ago and that it is Donny's widow that the sniper has come to kill, not Bob. Both a gripping war novel and a complex thriller coiled around the convoluted intrigues of the supposedly c oncluded Cold War, this is page-turning entertainment that will delight act ion adventure readers.
