(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best men adventure fiction books

Patriot Games by Tom Clancy. I could not believe how good this book was. The best thriller I've ever read, could not put it down. Hit me very hard emotionally. Easily the most "gripping" book I've read in many years, really and truly couldn't put it down. (and I really didn't expect to be hit that hard by it) It's overall really good, and there's tons of interesting facts in it, about English history (and the routines/rituals they still do every night at the tower of London that go all the way back to the medieval era), technology (both aircraft tech and also how satellites are, or were, used to analyze data) to all sorts of other things. But the real strength of the book is how much Clancy gets you to care about the main characters. Many of his books are very "gadget" heavy, but this one was not, it's no exagerration to say that it's a masterclass of emotion and psychology. Easily his best book, and one of the best books I've ever read. I enjoyed it WAY more than I thought I would. If you've never read Clancy and are somewhat skeptical of him, read this book to understand why he was such a big hit in his prime.

If that's a little too tame you might prefer the Mack Bolan series, the Mack Bolan book that was written as a direct answer to Patriot Games is Blood Strike, which is very similar, but WAAAAY action packed:

Skinhead =/= Nazi. Without going into the history of the subculture, skinheads come in many flavors (anti-racist, anarchist, nazi, nationalist, communist) of pro-working class sentiment, and can often be identified by the color of their bootlaces (white=nazi, red=communist/anarchist, rainbow=where did you get those awesome bootlaces etc.).

I've known or met quite a few skinheads over the years and only one was a swastika-inked nazi (and he's serving life for killing a gay dude, so fuck him). The rest were either Irish-American working class conservative types who liked to drink and fight, or anarchist-collective types who liked to drink and fight (and eat bacon).

Further reading: While I enjoyed American History X, the book American Skin is a well-balanced primer on skinhead culture and pretty good bildungroman.

Hope that helped wipe some of the WTF out of your family secret!

I like the Darkness series by Harley Tate. The first in the series is Dark was Begins. They’re on Amazon. I’m almost finished with the second book. So far the main characters are a good mix of men and women and it’s realistic in that there are some ridiculously stupid women and men and some smart women and men.

They’re not super deep but I find them enjoyable.

Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan in Blood Strike is set in the 90s, pretty rip-roaring rather than "whodunit", in case that matters.

>Did you fall into a crowd of antifa?

Haha. You might enjoy this book. I've read almost everything he's put out, and I like them all, but this series was my favorite.

I have a Tulster mag pouch I use for my backup mag, but this carries so nice, that I don't think I'll be going back to the single unless it's for NPE carry, and in that case, I'll probably go with the belly band anyway.

I can't believe it took this long for someone to put out larger mags for the Shield. It's not like it was the most sold gun when it was first released or anything. /s
