More to come??
 
It was great, right up to the end. Don't leave us hanging there. I certainly hope the follow on is well underway.

GNolly 08-19-12 09:23 PM

Not to worry - the sequel, Hamfist Down!, is almost finished. And there's another sequel after that, Hamfist Over Hanoi.

I would really appreciate any reviews on Amazon, plus Facebook and twitter mentions!

Thanks!

Thank you, George.

Hi George,
I enjoyed Hamfist down and am looking forward to book 3. These are the first books I've ever read on an e-reader. I have a nook color, converted to an android tablet with the kindle software installed and it worked well. The software also worked well on my phone.

GNolly 09-23-12 03:34 PM

Thanks!
 
Thanks, Tony! I'm working on book 3 as we speak.

I have enjoyed your books. There are little details that indicate that in fact you have more than some familiarity with the aircraft.
I enjoy these kinds of books, because they tell the story, cover the period of time, and yet don't have the dryness that seems to infect the non-fiction books about warfare, particularly air combat.
When ever I read one, I am reminded of an author I read a long time ago. The book was called "The Few", and not surprisingly was about the Battle of Britain. I remember turning the book over, and the back of the jacket contained a surprise. A picture of the author, and a little information. Makes you wonder.

Larry -

Thank you for your comments, and for the review you posted on Amazon! It's really been a lot of fun writing these books. I've been living in 1969 for the past several months, and now I'm living in 1972 as I work on Hamfist Over Hanoi.

After my first O-2 tour in Vietnam, I had two additional tours of duty as an O-2 instructor. I ended up with a little over 2500 hours of O-2 time.

Great airplane!

I have read all the books. Did you end up marrying a girl of Japanese descent?

GNolly 03-06-13 06:38 PM

Married
 
There is some literary license taken in the novel, but to answer your question: yes, my Japanese wife and I have been married for 45 years.

Working on another sequel right now

I am well into the second book and they are both great reads. Thank you for your service, firstly, and for your great novels, secondly. I enjoy them very much and will definitely get the third installment.

GNolly 04-09-13 03:13 AM

Thanks for your comments. If you have time, I would really appreciate it if you would post a review on Amazon when you finish reading the books.

Thanks!
