Perhaps my favorite fiction author is Larry Correia. His Monster Hunter International series is incredible, though the Grimnoir series is my favorite. He's done others, and one that I think a lot of people sleep on is the novel he did with John D. Brown called "Gun Runner." It's a science fiction work that, frankly, I enjoyed so much.
While I'm hoping we get a second book there, it seems there's something else in the works in that universe.
A Kickstarter for a graphic novel version of the book.
The 2021 Dragon Award-winning military science fiction novel comes to comics for the very first time! New York Times bestselling author Larry Correia and John D. Brown's explosive sci-fi adventure is faithfully adapted by Eisner Award-winning writer Mike Baron (The Punisher, Nexus, Star Wars: Thrawn Trilogy) and brought to life with dynamic artwork by Marcelo Salaza.
Climb aboard the MSV Tar Heel.
On the edge of civilized space, there’s only one rule that matters… survive.
And aboard the battered freighter MSV Tar Heel, survival means taking the jobs no one else will touch.
Jackson Rook was once a war hero.
A decorated mech pilot. A symbol of the rebellion that brought down the murderous Collectivists.
Now he’s something else entirely.
A smuggler.
A gun runner.
A man who hauls illegal weapons and stolen war machines across the lawless frontier with the crew of the Tar Heel, taking dangerous jobs for dangerous clients and asking as few questions as possible.
Yes, there's a Firefly vibe, if you're a fan of that show, but it's Larry and his friend and fellow fantasy author John D. Brown. Both are good, but together they're really good.
I loved the book.
This is brought to you by the same outfit that did a graphic novel version of John Ringo's Black Tide Rising, which I reviewed a few years ago.
Look, folks, let me put it like this: If you want the media to stop being anti-gun, you'd damn well better force them to. You can't do it with threats or anything like that. It just lets them feel righteous, besides being morally repugnant.
What you have to do is make it clear that people want media that doesn't hate them and what they stand for. You have to back media that sends the signal that we exist and we're consumers who they need to pay attention to. We don't need a woke Little House on the Prairie; we need heroes who use guns to shoot collectivist tyrants in the face.
So, I'm strongly urging you to hit that link and pledge to back the Kickstarter. They've hit the minimum, but more is better.
More is louder.
Make damn sure every anti-gun zealot in the media echo chamber finds out the hard way that they've blown it by preaching to the audience instead of serving them.
Yes, I'm a huge fan of Correia. I've also read Brown, and he's very good, too, and again, put them together and you get something special. Make it a graphic novel and entertain even more people.
And hoist a middle finger to the anti-gun elites.
