If you're a Bob Lee Swagger fan, you might like listening to the podcast from The Federalist with author Stephen Hunter.

I've been a fan of his for a number of years and very much enjoyed this hour long conversation.

Love me some Stephen Hunter; I've read each of the BLS novels, some of them three or four times. Dirty White Boys is one of my favorite books of all time.

I guess the guys who did Game of Thrones bought the rights to make Dirty White Boys into a movie. Loved that book.

I enjoyed the first couple of Swagger books but they started to get a little absurd. I mean, who becomes a samurai in their 60s?

I liked Point of Impact so much that I can't stand to watch the movie or the show. They totally bastardized the book and the characters.

Yeah, the NASCAR one was pretty cringe.

A Dirty White Boys movie??? In this day and age of the PC culture, a movie version of Dirty White Boys will piss some people off. Hell, just read the first ten pages. They'll make SJW heads explode. I'd bet they pussify it...

I hear how much people just love him, especially on "the guns"

I find his stuff OK.


Most recently I read his "The Third Bullet"
The Third Bullet by Stephen Hunter
My personal conspiracy theory is that it was LBJ's people.
He puts forward a different one (than mine)

I agree the books were great at first and then eh in the middle. did really enjoy the one about the Russian sniper and loved the way it ended. think I enjoyed the earl swagger books more though
