    For fans of the movie Heat...

    Obviously an iconic movie and one of my favorites. But did you know there is a Heat 2 book?? It just came out last year and its even written by Michael Mann the director of the movie. I didn't realize it until today and immediately placed my order. If anyone has read it please chime in and let me know your thoughts on it. NO SPOILERS PLEASE. I'm really hoping it turns out to be just as epic as the movie.

    Apparently it is a prequel and a sequel which sounds great to me. Looking forward to reading about the future endeavors of Chris Shiherlis (Val Kilmer's character) as he was one of my favorites. Loved how he went "commando" with his Colt Model 733 in the big shootout. Also had some good HK91 action as well.

    Perhaps the prequel aspect will shed more light on the connection between Chris and Neil from years past.

    They certainly work in a very disciplined way during the big shootout scene. Bounding, communicating, using cover, etc., it's textbook.

    Very cool stuff!

    Yes I agree Neil and Chris definitely had a past history together, especially the way Neil risked his life to help Chris get up and move after taking a round to the shoulder.

    Those two, along with Michael Cheritto seemed to be pretty close-knit. Cheritto was another interesting character, and he put a lot of rounds on target during the big shootout with his Galil.

    And while we are all here I’ll also mention that we’ve all seen the movie “Thief”, correct?

    Consultant was Andy McNab of Bravo Two Zero fame.

    Read it when it came out. Goes even bigger if you can believe it. Worth the read and makes you want a sequel...

    Yeah I'd heard McNabb consulted.

    Yes "Thief", great flick. Been a few years though... James Cahn with a 1911, and a very realistic portrayal of the use of a magnesium lance.

    What's the connection with "Heat"?
