Wesson who shared a dream of developing a new type of firearm, one capable of being fired repeatedly without the annoyance of having to reload with loose powder, ball, and primer.

The History of Browning Firearms is a captivating and wonderfully illustrated chronicle of one of the most influential and ­legendary names in gunsmithing history. John M. Browning was born in Ogden, Utah, in 1855, into a world of gunsmithing. His father was a gunsmith who was already well known for a number of innovations in the field. As a young boy, John spent hours in his father’s shop and allegedly knew the name of every part of a gun before he could read. It’s hardly surprising that at age twenty-three, he was filing his first patent for the “J. M. Browning Single-Shot Rifle.” He inherited his father’s business, and with funds of less than a thousand dollars turned it into a thriving gun-making workshop with seven employees. One of Browning’s guns was chanced upon by a representative of Winchester, who admired the design so well that the Winchester managing director made the six-day journey to Utah to conclude several lucrative commercial deals that would endure for the next few years. Browning’s designs for Colt and the manufacture of many familiar Colt guns also helped boost his company’s ­reputation as a premier gun-maker. Browning’s designs have covered a whole range of small arms, from semi-automatic ­pistols through single-shot rifles, repeater rifles, and machine guns. His enthusiasm and creativity have led many to believe he is the greatest firearms designer of all time. This fascinating book describes the Browning history, and covers its full range of inventions and designs, from frontier weapons such as the Colt Peacemaker to military arms, shotguns, and hunting rifles. Also shown are ­various gun-making artifacts, copies of designers’ drawings, and interesting photographs of the weapons in the hands of users. The History of Browning Firearms makes a perfect addition to the libraries of Wild West buffs, amateur historians, and firearms enthusiasts. 8.25" x 11.75", hardcover, 128 pages, full color photos.

Everyone feels fear. Unfortunately, most people—even trained martial artists—have received precious little guidance in how to handle it. Instead of accepting the adrenalized state brought on by stressful situations as an inevitable, instinctual survival response, they second-guess it, dread it, deny it and fight it.

Finally, he reveals how this fast, effective, scenario-based training methodology empowers you to unleash the fearsome force of adrenaline to fight for your life when all else fails. 5.5” x 8.5”, softcover, photos, 272 pages.

My new novel begins five years after the end of Enemies Foreign And Domestic, in a much darker America, which is becoming more of a police state following each new act of terrorism. The national economy is on the brink of total collapse, inflation and unemployment are soaring, and the cities are descending into ungovernable sinkholes of anarchy and ethnic violence. After decades of uncontrolled illegal immigration, tens of millions of undocumented Hispanic aliens have received amnesty, and both political parties are pandering to the desires of these new Spanish-speaking instant-citizens. The action in Domestic Enemies takes place between Oklahoma and California, but much of it occurs in New Mexico. After many years of an open-door policy to illegals and lax "motor-voter" registration, the state government has been taken over (in rigged elections) by extremists, who are only nominally members of the Democratic Party. The federal government, which is dealing with multiple crises it considers far more urgent, turns a blind eye to the ethnic and political turmoil in the "backwater" border state. Thus the stage is set for a bloody showdown between New Mexico ranchers who refuse to leave their ancestral lands, and the Milicia de Nuevo Mexico, which is comprised largely of former illegal alien immigrants, fighting for free land to be distributed as the spoils of victory. Could this really happen? Or has it already begun? Buy this amazing novel and find out for yourself. 539 pages, softcover, 6” x 9”.
