Jon Land, Thriller Writer Extraodinaire’s Caitlin Strong Blockbuster

Looks like I won’t be going to work for at least the next 2 months. Just discovered that one of Grit-Lit’s all time favorite authors, Jon “The Legend” Land, has written 28 novels. TWENTY-EIGHT! And I’ve only read 9 of ‘em. That’s 19 books I’ve gotta read RIGHT NOW! And no, you can’t have my copies when I’m done. They are going to their place of honor on my bookshelf next to the other superlative tough guy novels by John D. MacDonald, Randy Wayne White, Robert Parker, James W. Hall, Andrew Vachss, Stephen Hunter, Ian Fleming, David Morrell …

“Strong Enough To Die” by Jon Land. (Forge $24.95, 352 pages. Hard cover.)

Land’s books are so good, his last book “The Seven Sins: The Tyrant Ascending” is on its way to being a major film. The movie guys from “Terminator” snapped up the rights.

Now don’t get all mad when you discover that technically “Strong Enough” is not a tough guy book. That’s only because on special occasions, Land’s hero can look mighty good in a dress. His new star, Caitlin Strong, is the first female Texas Ranger. So, she’s tough. Plenty tough.
