The place to find out about books that people read.
Mission Code: Symbol is the first book in the Mac Wingate series by Bryan Swift. Mac Wingate is pulled from his mission in Northern Africa for a special task for General Patton in Casablanca. There is a group of high level Nazi’s meeting in Casablanca with the Vichy French secretly. Mac Wingate must attempt to take them out.
I am certainly going to pick up more of these books when I find them.
I picked up the first book in the Mac Wingate Series by Bryan Swift at my local used book store. This is one of those early 80s paperbacks so it stinks (not the content, the actual book). The cover price is very low on this book so the store just threw it in with my other books. Mac Wingate is a special operations warrior in World War II. He is a man that gets things done so he is given difficult tasks by Allied leadership.
Books
Crime of Passion is the 169th book in the Gunsmith Series by J. R. Roberts. Clint Adams, the Gunsmith, has been commissioned to build a gun for a wealthy Montana rancher, Lawrence Dain. Unfortunately, the rancher’s wife is jealous of her husband’s fondness for guns. The Gunsmith has no idea what kind of trouble building a gun can cause.
Agents of Chaos II, Jedi Eclipse is the 5th book in The New Jedi Order Series by James Luceno. This a post-movie Star Wars book. In this book, the forces of the New Republic continue to fight the Yuuzhan Vong. The New Republic is being pushed around the galaxy and Luke Skywalker is trying to keep the Jedi Knights on the same page. In the meantime Han Solo is working to evacuate planets ahead of the Yuuzhan Vong onslaught.
The Hanging Tree is the 269th book in the Gunsmith Series by J. R. Roberts. In this book, Clint Adams, the Gunsmith, comes across a rustler that has been hung by vigilantes, without a trial. This does not sit well with the Gunsmith and he connects with a Texas Ranger, Jack First, to hunt down the vigilantes. This book has a lot of short chapters and it is interesting because there are blank pages before each chapter. I’ve heard that publishing has some odd number of pages where it is possible to publish a longer book cheaper than a shorter one.

You beat 50 percent of the people in America by working hard. You beat another 40 percent by being a person of honesty and integrity and standing for something. The last 10 percent is a dogfight in the free enterprise system.
