Yes, I even bought the whole series on DVD. There are some surprising differences. In the books, Henry is a giant of a man who lives up to his Special Forces past. And in the books, Longmire and Vic do the "horizontal mambo" a lot. Plot lines are pretty close but more complex in print - as is true for most book to movie transformations.
It's funny how these come in waves. None will sell for weeks and then suddenly my publisher reports that a dozen sets have sold. Has to be word of mouth but that doesn't explain the foreign sales - especially since neither book has been translated into other languages. Just weird. Susie, if the pattern of male/female readers holds, you'll like them both, but you'll like Baggy more. Let me know, please.
Thanks to all who order, and may you enjoy the reading as much as I did the writing.
About 2 years ago I was visiting with my brother Tom who informed me he had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer that had gone into his bones. His doctor gave him odds of 3 months without chemo or 6 months of life with chemo.
A day or so later during my morning reading time I could not find anything that I could get into. Nothing at all would hit my interests. Then I wiped the dust off my copy of The Holy Bible. Have read it about a half hour each day ever since and have gone cover to cover twice now since. Currently doing special chapters of interest and have found a great peace in my life.
Rereading my pile of Handloader magazines, again. Seem every time I reread them, I find something that I missed or date on a cartridge that I'm playing with at that time.
not reading, but listening too Audio Books , just finished The Hell Divers Series
A Postapocalyptic Earth
Two hundred and fifty years after World War III went nuclear, the surface of the planet is still uninhabitable. Devastating weapons left behind a barren, radioactive wasteland.
The Hell Divers
They dive so humanity survives…
Hell Divers are the courageous few that accept the dangerous duty of sky diving to the surface, where they search for the parts essential to keeping their floating homes in the air. After diving twenty thousand feet through electrical storms, they face further danger as they navigate the deadly ruins of civilization, in order to save what’s left of humanity and recover fuel so desperately needed by the airships.
Just bought these 2. I think clay Martin is a former Army guy and he wrote two books about what he saw as nations fell into civil war. One book is about a rural perspective and the other is an urban perspective.

Rocky.
Have you watched Longmire on Netflix?
If so does the TV series follow the book pretty good or way off?

the art of war and the newest copy of janes
First Book : summary- Life is Difficult. Get over it.
Second Book: Things to help you through 'difficulties'
I've also been reading a lot of H.A. Ray recently.
Steven Hunter's Bob Lee Swagger series.
I think the entire Lonesome Dove series is one of the best reads I've done. I also enjoyed Phillip Meyer's 'The Son'

Do you have a directed study guide?
Paleoanthropology, specifically a book on what is known about the Denisovans.
