Thanks, Mark and Steven. What about a special screening of Khartoum? You guys bring the pizza and popcorn, I’ll bring the beer.
“A world with no room for the Gordons is a world that will return to the sands.”
Speaking of Mahdi Gras, in Steyn’s felicitous phrase, I’ve had a bit of the Mahdi on the brain these past six months, finishing the third in the “Devlin” series of novels, which has something to do with, well, Mahdism.
So imagine my surprise Sunday night when I put the finishing touches on the book — the final section of which involves a Special Ops Black Hawk helicopter team, piloted by the 160th SOAR aces, executing a commando rescue/assassination raid inside a Muslim country — and sent it off to my editor. Then, about an hour later I hear from the president that a Special Ops Black Hawk helicopter team piloted by the 160th SOAR aces, has executed a commando assassination raid inside a Muslim country.
I tell you, you can’t make this stuff up. Nevertheless, I’m starting work on the fourth Devlin novel this weekend, just to stay ahead of the curve.
