3. Incredible book
I don't know how burke does it but Robi-chaux and Cletus continue to amaze. Eventually they'll be in a nursing home beating the hell out of infirm mobsters. Great book with a huge Hurricane approaching and lingering in and about the story.

2. I've already provided these two to Santa
- Patriotic Fire by Winston Graham
- That Anvil of our Souls by David Poyer

And "Santa" knows I'll be real disappointed if I don't get them.

4. Thanks for reminding me of Winston Graham.
I haven't read any of his stuff in quite a while and need to return.

5. I do enjoy a good
swahbuckling adventure with Jean Paul Laffitte. And anything about New Orleans new or old is always on my list.

http://www.amazon.com/Patriotic-Fire-Jackson-Laffite-Orleans/dp/1400044367/sr=1-76/qid=1164230640/ref=sr_1_76/104-3005661-1165501?ie=UTF8&s=books

I got the author's name wrong, its Winston Groom.

6. Huge difference! Winston wrote
the books that were the basis for the Poldark series on Masterpiece Theatre eons ago.
