Night of Thunder: A Bob Lee Swagger Novel by Stephen Hunter
After a jaunt to Japan and a crash course in swordplay in “The 47th Samurai,” 63-year-old marksman extraordinaire Bob Lee Swagger has returned to the good old U.S. of A. He’s back on the Montana farm that provides a haven for him and his family. But then he learns that his elder daughter, 24-year-old journalist Nikki, has been left in a coma after a hit-and-run near Bristol, Tenn. While local police are chalking up the accident to some teen, high on meth or NASCAR, Swagger fears that his daughter may be paying the price for his own violent past — 87 kills at last count. And so it’s off to the mountains of Tennessee and into the heart of the NASCAR Nation.

Write Your Book Introduction as a Sales Tool

Is your book introduction designed to seal the sale? Probably not; many open a book to read, see an introduction, yawn, think boring and turn the page. Why, because authors, including myself, have treated the introduction as only a ‘why I wrote the book’ page. Most people don’t care as much ‘why you wrote the
