Another good quote from a recent book...

[CalamityJane]

I was just reading the Stephen King thread, and wondered if any of you read Dean Koontz? Reason I ask, (aside from the fact that I think he's a great writer and I love his books), is, in his most recent book "The Darkest Evening of the Year", there is a quote that really got me. He wrote, as a thought in the heroine's head, "In self-defense and in defense of the innocent, killing is not murder, hesitation is not moral, and cowardice is the only sin."

I really liked this, and I liked reading it in a book by a well-known and well-read author. The good guys do use guns in the book, as do the bad guys.

His book "The Good Guy", is also very good, with a "good guy" just minding his own business choosing to not back away from trouble, much as most of us would like to think we would do. It is a great read, with guns as the primary tools used by all.

I started reading Koontz's books this last summer.I have enjoyed most of them.
He does have the main character use firearms for self defense in many of them,even if it is not in compliance of the law.
