Hunter’s 2008 book tour supporting Night of Thunder was his first since retiring from the Washington Post. Another first - it had a week off in the middle! Historically, he crammed his nationwide tour every two years into one of his vacation weeks that the Post allows all employees. This one had almost a full week between Southern California and Denver.
Today, we found out what happened. He headed out to hunt the Wyoming “outback”, where he found little wildereness, fewer deer, and all the keys on his word processor’s blessed keyboard. Lucky us. It’s one of the best articles he’s placed in the Post during 2008, in my humble opinion.

Hunter says his next book will be a “classic sniper novel” along the lines of Point of Impact. That’s just part of the news coming from this interview with Stephen Hunter on the internet-based Drake & Zeke show out of Memphis.

What an awesome book! Stephen Hunter was gracious enough to send me an advance copy of his new novel. It’s another Bob Lee Swagger book, and features some familiar characters from past novels. I was pretty sure I had the identity of the kingpin figured out about halfway through the book. WRONG!!!
This one is highly recommended.

Today, Stephen Hunter has retired from his day job. I wish you well in your golden years, Steve - though I also wish you’d step up the pace for those novels. Maybe three a year?
