Martin Stone is the action hero we all wish we could be. I sure would like to find some of those 1/6th scale figures that Gary Anderson is making. That would complete my collection.

I recently picked up these and re-read the whole series. I make custom 1/6th scale figures. This story inspired me to begin a new project designing a Martin Stone action figure and his motorcycle. I highly recommend you go out and pick these up anywhere you can find them. Here or on ebay, you won't be dissapointed!!

I read this book long ago, and once I grew up and joined the elite Rangers, I appreciated it more. It has some symbolysim for today, as there are many people who look at military types and expect knuckle dragging ape men, and who think that the world is as they see it.. But many times events take place that make them realize that all is not safe in their world. This is an excellent book, although I do believe it was drawn out in other sequels. Read it and imagine what could happen........

This is the first book in series chronicling Martin Stone's search for his sister after the end of WW3. The action's good and the story takes us from Stone reluctantly joining his family in a shelter until he has destroyed the leaders of the gang holding his sister. It's told in a straight forward realistic style, although there are people affected by radiation there are no mutant superbeings or monsters.
