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 . . . John |
