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."

You can find Long's graphic artwork and articles online at his site: http://DuncanLong.com/

5.0 out of 5 stars Timely book, July 9, 2009
This review is from: The Survival Bible (Paperback)
This is a no-nonsense book, that covers a multitude of 'survival' subjects.
If you are concerned about todays problems, and what they may lead to, get the book. It is well researched.

5.0 out of 5 stars he knows his info, January 14, 2011
This review is from: The Survival Bible (Paperback)
A bad review because the seller didnt deliver - what relevance is that to the book
A bad review because survival isnt about guns - ummmmm really?
Mr Long provides the necessary info to make the right choices.
Buy this book if you see this country degenerating to the point you have to defend yourself. I think the future looks grim.

2.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced boilerplate, February 15, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Survival Bible (Paperback)
I've just read Duncan Long's Survival Bible and was not impressed. The book is quite expensive for what it is, which is a shallow survey of survival topics. Much more in-depth discussion can be found for less. I thought with the book being oversized it would be detailed and probably contain photos and diagrams, etc. It does not and the text is sparse. The size and the price are just a marketing gimick to make you think it's something special. There IS more discussion than average about earthquake risks, if you live in one of those areas. However, some of his assertions about firearms (9mm and .223 more effective than .45ACP and .308 respectively) are simply not upheld by the facts. If you are concerned about societal collapse due to war or economics, Mel Tappan's book "Tappan on Survival" is far superior, highly detailed, and properly priced for a paperback.
