Time To Die is the fourth part of the five-part serial Nick Of Time by John Gilstrap and remains compelling reading. This series has become increasingly intense and totally addictive.
Nicki's father teams up with deputy Darla Sweet to prove that his daughter isn't a killer. Meanwhile, Nicki and Brad are continuing to avoid the police but get themselves into even more trouble as the story heads for a dramatic conclusion.
This part seemed a bit shorter than the previous ones and was over far too so ...more

The pace picks up in the electrifying fourth installment in this series as the three main storylines converge and work together. Nicki's father works with Deputy Sweet to track Brad and Nicki down while also investigating the robbery/murder that the two fugitives are accused of committing. Sheriff Hines's character is called into question, along with that of his son and his son's hoodlum "friend" Peter that we met earlier in the story. Brad and Nicki seem to be at a dead end as this installment ...more

**SPOILER FREE**

Time to Die is the fourth installment of a five part book series by author John Gilstrap. I have had the honor of being able to read the first of this series and this one.. needing to read the in between now. I would recommend that you read this set in order to fully get the entire set. This is a well written action packed page turner that will keep you intrigued right from the start!

This is the fourth of the five parts that make up the "Nick of Time" book. I have really enjoyed following the story as its really building up pace now with just one instalment to go. I can't wait read the final part to see what happens to Brad and Nicki. Compelling reading for me. ...more

As a kid, I lived for the opportunity to write short stories. I was the editor of my high school newspaper for a while (the Valor Dictus, Robinson High School, class of 1975), until I quit ("You can't fire me! I quit!") over a lofty First Amendment issue that seemed very important at the time. My goal, in fact, was to become a journalist in the vein of Woodward or Bernstein. Okay, I confess, I wanted to be Woodward; Robert Redford played him in the movie, and chicks really dug Robert Redford.

I graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1979, and armed with a degree in American history, I couldn't find a job. I ended up settling for a position with a little-noticed trade journal serving the construction industry. They called me the managing editor and they paid me food stamp wages. I hated it. About this time, I joined the Burke Volunteer Fire Department in Fairfax County, Virginia, if only to find relief from the boredom of my job. Running about a thousand calls my first year with the department, I was hooked, and the volunteer fire service became an important part of my life for the next 15 years. In the early eighties, hating my job, I went the way of all frustrated liberal arts undergrads—back to graduate school. Earning a Master of Science degree in safety engineering from the University of Southern California, I started down a whole new road. For the next decade and a half, I became an expert (don't you hate that word?) on explosives safety and hazardous waste. Meanwhile, I kept writing. I didn't tell anyone, of course, because, well, you just don't share artistic dreams with fellow engineers. They look at you funny.

My first novel, Nathan's Run, was in fact my fourth novel, and when it sold, it sold big. At a time in my life when things were going well—I was president of my own consulting firm—things were suddenly going very well. Warner Bros. bought the movie rights to Nathan's Run two days after the first book rights were sold, and as of this date, the novel has been translated and published in one form or another in over 20 countries. With Nathan's Run in the can, as it were, I thought I might finally be on to something, but I didn't quit my "day job" until after I sold the book and movie rights to my second novel, At All Costs. I figured that while one-in-a-row might be luck, two-in-a-row was a trend. So, I started writing full-time.

More novels followed, and then a few screenplays. I was living the dream.

But I really didn't like it much. I learned pretty quickly that when you're born a Type-A personality, those extrovert tendencies don't go away just because you're practicing a craft you love. In fact, after just a couple of years of dream fulfillment, I was pretty friggin' bored with the company of my imaginary friends, so I did something that I've never heard a full-time artist do before: I went back to a day job. At first, it was just a matter of reactivating my consulting business, but then, in 2004, I was handed my ideal Big-Boy Job (that's what my wife calls it) working as the director of safety for a trade association in Washington, DC.

And I continue to write. In 2006, Six Minutes to Freedom was published to considerable acclaim. My first (and probably last) foray into book-length non-fiction, SixMin tells the story of Kurt Muse, the only civilian of record ever rescued by the super-secret Delta Force. Thanks to Kurt's cooperation (he is co-author), I gained access to people and places that lifelong civilians like me should never see. The heroic warriors I met during that research turned out to be nothing like their movie stereotypes. These were not only gentlemen, but gentle men, who remained free of the kind of boasting and self-aggrandizement that I was expecting. They were supreme professionals, and very nice guys.

And through them I got the idea for my new series character, Jonathan Grave. He's fo ...more
