out more about him and his life if anyone has anything at all they would like to share (he was my Great Uncle on my fathers side) and between him and my Grandmother on mums side love for writing stories running through my veins it's what I wanted to be before I even knew about Ion as he passed 2 decades before I was born. I've got a few of his books but looking to add to my collection and with him having written so many (incredibly impressive) I am wondering what people think would be the "must haves" to read or their favourites?

Rose - just googling Ion Idriess will give you many sites and articles to choose from - he was 'famous'.
We also have a sister-site that has articles about him and you can find those here www.idriess.com.au
From a collectors point of view, the original 1927 version of Madman's Island, Cyaniding For Gold, and the Guerilla Series are the rarest.
From a reading perspective, my favourites are Drums of Mer, Isles of Despair, and Men of the Jungle.
All the best
Clive
