WHAT SORT OF MAN READS GABRIEL HUNT?

When the third Gabriel Hunt adventure, HUNT AT WORLD'S END, hit bookstores, we invited fans to send in photos of themselves reading it, preferably in suitable high advenuture garb. And several intrepid souls took us up on it. (All of them men, strangely. We know there are female Hunt fans out there, too...if any of you want to get in on the action, the offer still stands!)

In the meantime, we're pleased to present five of the hardiest souls you might ever care to meet on the road to Parts Unknown: Scott, Steve, Patrick, Anthony, and Rob...
