@gdp And I also just realized you weren't asking about Don Bentley's new Mitch Rapp book, but about Jack's Battle Born series.

Honestly, Jack's not to that level quite yet, but he's on his way. I thought the second in the series, Outlaw, read like vintage Clancy. It had all the hallmarks. Jack has also done his homework, while bringing his own experiences to bear.​

@gdp Gregory, apologies, I somehow missed your reply until now.

Given that Vince Flynn is Don's favorite thriller author, and that he used one of Flynn's Rapp books to learn how to plot and structure a story, I would say he learned his lessons very well. I wouldn't go so far to say Don wrote a stellar Vince Flynn book; that wasn't his aim.

His aim was to write a great Mitch Rapp book, and on that goal, he definitely hit the mark.​

@Mtt If I'm not too late for the party, and having recently taken ownership of a Traska Venturer GMT that I am loving, of that grouping you have, I'd go either with the #11 Tissot or the #1 Murph. But that's just me. 😉

@patrickrhone Brutus. What an absolutely perfect name for the dog who looks like the epitome of "the Pom you don't eff with." So very sorry for y'all's loss, Patrick. Dogs are the best.

@jaheppler It's been my main browser for a couple of months now. Only downside is manual-only updates, but they're a piece of cake, at least on macOS, from the command line.

@Mtt Excellent! How might I acquire one?

@Mtt Where did you get your Invictus challenge coin? That's pretty sweet.

@Mtt Looking good!

@manton I just love the name Gruene. And saying it. And it's a great little town to boot. Been a while since we were down there.

@help Got it. Weird. Those normally go right through. Thanks!

@manton @help Is there an issue with login emails not working? I've tried three times in the last 10 minutes and still not receiving the email with the link/verification code.

@odd I imagine there will be some sort of legal requirement imposed.

@kaa I got one from my wife as a Christmas present last month. I love mine. It’s a fantastic office bag.
