More About the Author
Duncan Long (http://DuncanLong.com/) is a freelance writer/illustrator who has authored 13 novels including Anti-Grav Unlimited (Avon Books), the Spider Worlds triology (HarperCollins), and the Night Stalkers series (Harper Collins). He's also written 60-some technical books and how-to manuals (with Paladin Press, Delta Press, Lyons Press/Globe Pequot, and others). Additionally, he's ghostwritten over a dozen titles for TV, radio, and stage celebrities.
Some of Long's technical manuals can be found in the private libraries of the CIA, US Marines, FEMA, the FBI's FTU (Firearms Training Unit), and other US agencies. Excerpts from his books and technical drawings have even appeared in US Congressional hearings.
As an illustrator Long has created cover and interior illustrations for HarperCollins, PS Publishing (UK), Byron Preiss/ibooks, Pocket Books, Fort Ross, American Media, Delirium Books, Ballistic Media, Mermaid Books, Swimming Kangaroo Books, and others. His artwork also appears in national magazines (including the Sun and Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine), and at Web sites and on CD covers.
Long's illustrations are noted for their often whimsical, dreamlike quality. Talk-show host Victor Thorn named Long one of the three "best graphic artists in the entire world." And the reviewer at 3D Millennium (M3 Corp., Inc.) wrote about Long's collected works, "To call him a prolific artist would be understatement, at best. Get yourself a snack and settle back while Duncan takes you on a wild ride through worlds only he has dreamt of."

It doesn't tell you how to make ammo.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Homemade Ammo: How To Make It, How To Reload It, How To Cache It (Paperback)
It tells you how to make improvized gunpowder (like you didn't already know), but no instructions on how to make brass cases, without which, there is nothing to reload or cache and there is no point owning anything other than musket...I bet the gun/ammo grabbers are quaking in their boots !

Typical Duncan Long Trash,
By "indeamer" (Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homemade Ammo: How To Make It, How To Reload It, How To Cache It (Paperback)
Yet again we are confronted with a book that is Long on BS and short of useful info, much like every other Duncan Long book. The book is worthless for anything except starting a fire and is typical of the trash put out by Duncan Long.
