I've read "Fate is the Hunter" several times and I
don't remember that story. If you can think of
another Gann book that it might be in, I'd sure
like to read it.

OK Jim, lemme see. . . I dont think it is in the High and Mighty. . .
so try Gentlemen of Adventure, or Band of Brothers, or In the Company
of Eagles or maybe Hostage to Fortune which is Gann's actual
biography.

Hmmm . . . might be a good excuse to re-read his books. Although I
read the 1986 reprint of Fate is the Hunter had several episodes
editted out that appeared in the original 1961 edition. I do remember
when i re read it last, I was left kinda wondering what happened to
the book.

Take care . . .
