He has several heroes/heroines but my very favourite is Keith Calder, a guy who is not the most respectable person in the world, but is an expert on guns. And poaching. <BR/><BR/>I guess I wouldn't classify Hammond with a "literature" tag, more teller of a rattling good yarn. Even the fact the technology is dated because they were written several years ago wasn't a problem for me. I'm very much looking forward to what you think.BookChookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230711251425187241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-60906594430149325992009-01-20T10:19:00.000-07:002009-01-20T10:19:00.000-07:00Just what I needed, Susan--another new author to l...Just what I needed, Susan--another new author to look up!

I've enjoyed them very much.

I love the TV series, and I have read two of her books but I was a bit disappointed.
