FR’s own Jim Macomber has released his third “John Cann” novel entitled, “A Grave Breach”. I have reviewed his other two novels in this series, “Bargained for Exchange” as well as, “Art and Part” here on FR too. Jim asked me if I would be willing to read an advance copy of this book and review it. Based on my very positive feelings about the other two novels, I enthusiastically agreed. I was not disappoined. Jim has a masterful ability to blend both legal thrillers with espionage and special forces action, both of which the main character happens to...

Freeper Larry Schweikart captures the essence of the unparalleled military success of the US Military with this book. Have their been mistakes? Yes. Have there been defeats? Yes. But the over-riding history of the US military is that of the most tremendous success, coupled with the most compassionate treatment of its enemies, and loyalty to its own, of any military force on earth. In America's Victories, Schweikart uses seven points to punctuate a great deal of the reason why the us miltary has enjoyed such success. Those points are: Gitmo, Gulags and Great Raids Learning from Loss Citizens as...

[Click on the picture to go to the official September Day Site] MY REVIEW OF SEPTEMBER DAYBy Jeff Head FreeRepublic's own Larry Schweikart (Freeper LS), has really knocked one out of the park with this historical, fictional depiction of events leading up to 911, of the attack itself, and of the aftermath of the attack. To my knowledge it is the first historical, fiction novel dealing with the events...and Larry does it in a grand, and very direct and professional style in keeping with his other great literary works like, "A Patriot's History of the United States," and "America's Victories:...

Great News! Freepers LS & Jeff Head have just released a book! It is LS (Larry Schweikart) first novel, a thriller about 9/11, "September Day", produced by fellow FReeper Jeff Head. Only available on Amazon/B&N. Hope you'll take a look: Check out Amazon site About September Day No living American can, or should, forget 9/11. But the process of trying to place this book with a major publisher has alerted me to the fact that many indeed want to do just that. Repeatedly, my agent got rejections with the words, "It's well written, but we don't want to touch...

I finally found a publisher out there who respected my work, and they only edited for spelling. But finally it has happened, I am out on the market worldwide! If you'd like you can search for it on amazon or the publisher's website. The title of the book is: The Soul's Edge the authors name is: Eugene Lahort

Draw Manga, my latest book was released today. A couple of reviews are already on the Net. My sincere thanks to all of you out there who encouraged and otherwise helped me write it. I couldn't have done it without you.

Jeff Head's Review of "A Patriot's History of the United States" Larry Schweikart (Freeper LS) and Michael Allen have written a history of the United States that is tremendously broad in scope, and monumental in its approach in our modern times. It begins with Christopher Columbus and proceeds through to current events, including 9-11 and its aftermath, the War on Terror and the fights in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as the re-election of George W. Bush.. The work covers over 510 years of history in 825 pages. There are over 70 pages of footnotes at the end of the...

Hi Fellow FReepers,I am privileged to announce that Jeff Head, the 2001 Free Republic Person of the Year, has just created a single hardback volume of all five of the Dragon's Fury series books! Now, instead of getting one softback volume at a time, you can read the entire epic between two hard covers.This is a serious undertaking, to say the least! The collector's edition comes in at over 800 pages, by using a smaller than typical font, and putting many more lines on a page than you normally see. For those of us over 40, it will mean pulling...

Art & Part, by Freeper Jim Macomber Jim Macomber's novel, "Art and Part", is his second novel about the exploits of one John Cann, a lawyer working for a firm that represents the CIA. Cann has a significant background in the military and intelligence which serve him well in the resolution of the dilemas he becomes involved in, and ultimately prove essential to his survival. The first book, "Bargained for Exchange" (which I also reviewed here on FR), was a blockbuster in this regard, mixing the best attributes of both Grisham and Clancy into an intriguing legal, espionage thriller....

A STUDY IN REDUCING ISLAMIC RADICAL STRONGHOLDS AND MINIMIZING AMERICAN CASUALTIES: What follows is something I wrote not long after the Fallujah incident when the Americans there were killed and butchered and the islamic radicals made a party out of it. I commented to my wife at the time that we are in a war with gruesome, fierce, and dedicated radical islamic enemies as committed to their cause and willing to kill and die for it as any of the Nazis and Japanese our fathers fought. Also willing to indoctrinate their youth and have them particpate directly in the bloodletting....

I felt I should briefly say something to those interested in the schedule for the release of Volume V of the Dragon's Fury Sereis of novels since the date has slipped a couple of times from an orignal expectation of late June.

Halfway through Jeff Head’s four volume (soon to be five volume) series, “Dragon’s Fury”, it’s difficult to decide whether to be more awed by the scope or by the execution of this 21st century Iliad. In “Dragon’s Fury”, Head has crafted an epic – there’s no other word - with a global range and has done it without allowing the story to lose its humanity and focus on individuals wrapped up in and affected by events. And, oh mama, are there ever events. Iran parlaying a nuclear capacity into reality, Middle Eastern states coming together into a unified intranational entity,...

I have just finished (Freeper) Jim Macomber's first novel, Bargained for Exchange. Even though it was written in 1996, it is spot on regarding today's events. It is also very perceptive, projecting many of today's policies and attitudes towards terror and the Mid-East geo-political situation as a former special forces operative turned lawyer finds himself embroiled in a terror, espionage, legal intrigue story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The intrigue and action come quickly and are sustained throughout the book without being over-done or rendering the book as a single dimensional work. The characters, their...

I wanted to take a moment and give a progress report to everyone following my Dragon's Fury Series of novels. As many of you know, my father passed away on January 25th just past. It was sudden, and in that sense it was unexpected, but it was not a shock in the sense that Dad had suffered from serious heart ailements for the past 15 years, many of those instances reported here on FR. In any case, it was sorrowful because of the break in the association, the company and the great counsel and advise...but we rejoice in the knowledge...

John Ross, Author of, "UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES", reviews Matt Bracken's "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" I have several complaints about most thriller novelists. First, their protagonists are too often 100% virtuous with no humanizing flaws. Second, the protagonists let their enemies live when you KNOW the bad guys are going to come back and murder their kids etc. Third, everything the government does (hi-tech weapons, military & police tactics, criminal investigations, etc.) functions flawlessly. Fourth, too many stories have all the brilliant thinking and brave actions done by government employees (Special Forces, policemen, Intelligence operatives, etc.) Lastly, some novels have a...

Dragon's Fury-The Long March (Vol IV) is an outstanding read that lives up to the anticipation of those who, like myself, are fans of the first 3 volumes of the Dragon's Fury series. It also can be considered a stand-alone volume with all the background the author provides, however I would urge any fan of military techno-thrillers to read the first 3 in progression first. The Long March brings an exciting culmination to the scary, near-future World War III scenario depicted in the series, but still leaves the reader longing for more. The techie weapons system writing is very cool,...

I bought and read E.E. Knight's (Freeper snake65), Way of the Wolf and promised I would review it for other Freepers. This is that review. The Way of the Wolf Book One of the Vampire Earth Series The Way of the Wolf is the first in a three part series entitled, Vampire Earth. This is not your typical vampire, guts, gore and supernatural book. Quite frankly, if it had been, I would never have read it. This book is an exciting and compelling read about a fictional future where the legends of earth's vampires resulted from a prior contact between...

Freeper author PlusOne recently asked me to read his book, The Number 0F inifinity. I did so, indicating that I would be happy to review it on FreeRepublic once I had completed it. This is that review. The book is set in the realtively near future (ten years out), where extreme weather conditions and a failing world-wide economy have turned America into something you might witness in some of the struggling eastern European countries today...with a big government/big brother technology twist. The book, from my perspective, is an entertaining sci-fi, mystery/thriller suspense story with 728 pages. The plot involves everything...

Matthew Bracken's (Freeper Travis McGee) Novel: Has just become available on Amazon! This is great news for Matt. GO MATT GO! Enemies Foreign & Domestic is as compelling a fictional novel about liberty and the 2nd amendment as you will ever read. It is packed with real life issues right off today's headlines and the political camps on both sides of the issue. It is also just a good, old-fashioned barnstorming novel that you can't put down. IMHO, in his first at bat, Matthew Bracken has hit one out of the park.

My post-apocalyptic scifi/fantasy novel, Way of the Wolf: Book One of the Vampire Earth went up on the bookstore shelves about a month ago, and it's time for it to come down this week to make way for new merchandise.

It started going up on the shelves Tuesday in the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Being a first time author is great, but it's a bed of roses with a lot of thorns. As I'm not a name author, some bookstores don't even have me on the shelves, so I'm hoping for...

Jeff Head’s third book in the “Dragon’s Fury” series lives up to the drama and political intrigue of his first two novels. This is a book that you can’t put down.

I felt all of these emotions as I read this book. Jeff tells his story with so many sub-plots, yet they each come together to tie this masterpiece into a work of art....
