Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on March 25, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Stephen Hunter! May your day be filled with more suspense than a Bob Lee Swagger showdown and fewer plot twists than your famously intricate thrillers. From "Point of Impact" to "Time to Hunt," you've kept readers gripping their seats tighter than critics clutching popcorn at movie premieres.

Congratulations on crafting stories that hit the mark every time—earning you not only legions of devoted fans but also the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much excitement and acclaim as your legendary novels, minus any unexpected cliffhangers (unless there's cake involved). Cheers to another thrilling chapter ahead!
