Jack Cashill’s Adventure Novel, The Hunt

Ace investigative reporter and frequent AT contributor Jack Cashill and co-author Mike McMullen have published a novel,  The Hunt.  Although it’s billed as “a political thriller,” it’s really more about just plain good guys versus bad guys, although these bad guys are Chechen jihadis, Mexican drug cartel henchmen, and homegrown America-hating radical anarchists.  The good guys are true-blue Americans (the term “true-blue” coming from the days before the media, in their little practical joke, turned the traditional designations of “red” and “blue” upside-down).

I don’t read much fiction these days (that doesn’t include what The New York Times, The Kansas City Star, and just about any Democrat campaign materials present as “facts”).  But because this particular work of fiction was written by two friends of mine, I made the exception.

In the spirit of full disclosure, be advised that I’m well acquainted with both authors.  Jack Cashill’s name should be familiar to most American Thinker; Mike McMullen, on the other hand, is a first-time author.  Although I know him as an avid outdoorsman, I had no idea of his knowledge of weaponry and combat, nor of his abilities as a wordsmith.

I think the last “adventure thriller” I read was another book that I clearly felt, while reading it, should be made into a movie.  That book was The Monkey Handlers by G. Gordon Liddy.  From the beginning of The Hunt, I saw similarities in the two books, not just in the way the rhythm engaged me, but in the way that both seemed to have been written by guys who know what they’re talking about.

I might have actually enjoyed The Hunt even more if its premise had been left to be discovered, rather than being laid bare on the book’s back cover.  But giving potential readers an idea of what to expect is hardly a spoiler.  There’s plenty of suspense — and action! — left.
