I'd ...I know what you mean by pro-military flavor. I'd say it's military of the decidedly uneducated north american flavor. In England at least you have the tradition of the classicly educated officer class who are quite civilized and well-read, but still tough. Here, military lit of the adventure kind tends towards the gung-ho dump machismo and super gearheadness which is extremely boring.OlmanFeelyushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521657876810568251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8780755.post-1126274141698602722005-09-09T09:55:00.000-04:002005-09-09T09:55:00.000-04:00I wouldn't really say that he succeeds in that tas...I wouldn't really say that he succeeds in that task.

Despite the dryness, would you say that he comes close to his goal of writing "Intelligent Action Adventure"? I like the tagline. Easy to say, much harder to execute.OlmanFeelyushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17521657876810568251noreply@blogger.com
