I've just finished Death in the Silent Places. I like PHC's easy style and wit. There is one thing for sure, all young men should read these books to understand what men used to be made of. The MTV/GQ generation of today (20-35) lack any sense of adventure, are unwilling to take personal risks, are overly concerned with their appearance (especially muscularity). I want to face dangerous game so bad - and I will do it some day - but, the response from these young men always is "your nuts, you could get killed". Every time I go flying, I could get killed - that's why I do it. Cheat death.
