    There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.

    Nice, I found it for $4.00 and ordered it right off. Thanks for the suggestion I can't wait to read this one.

    Oops, I followed up and found another for $1.92. I had to cancel the last order so I could save my $2 :P

    Hehe, just when I think I get a line on something new and unique, I am reminded that I am still VERY MUCH a student in these subjects and "standing on the shoulders of giants". I am very glad to know that I am on the right track and found a decent book, based on the reviews from the wolf pack. Thanks for the info on the other books by the same author, they look very cool!

    I'd love any feedback on this book or any other that is applicable to these subjects we all love so much.

    Oh, and thanks for the kind words about my website

    Bradford had a neat wife, who was a looker. She a few books also. Ahaa, takes me back to the 60's and early 70's.
