Kobra by Deon Meyer?
I started reading Kobra in Afrikaans.
What a surprise - in first few pages:
"Glock 17 Gen4"
"Cor-Bon 45 ACP +P"
Here is an author that is keeping up with what is new and some technically correct descriptions and good detail.

Just as long as he wasn't saying the two are related ;) (I mean the G17 and .45, not guns and Afrikaaners)

What makes his books so nice is if you know Cape Town.

Re: Kobra by Deon Meyer?
I do not like reading Afrikaans, for some obscure reason I find it very melodramatic usually. But might give this a shot then.

Deon Meyer's stuff is always worth a read. He does his research very well, from the bikes to the cars to the places to the guns. I really rate him as a writer.

+1.
Great reads, all of his books.[b]Be ready for anything, and if his head is not at least two meters away from the body, do not 'assume' he is dead and out of the fight.[/b] [I]- Ikor[/I]

Re: Kobra by Deon Meyer?
No the Glock and ammo is not related iro gun/ammo.
I bought my copy fom Amazon/Kindle. Some/most of his books are available in English and German.
I like reading it in Afrikaans and seeing some of my favourite words being used by the caracters, like "fokkol", fok", "stront" etc.Last edited by DS; 21-11-2013 at 02:57.
