Earl Swagger is the creation of Stephen Hunter and he sprung off the pages into the minds of readers everywhere. He is a man that knows his way around a firearm. They come to him with ease, like kitchen utensils come to the average person. A fact that is similar with all the men in his family.
Earl Swagger was a Marine First Sergeant. He used his skills during World War II, defending his country against all enemies. Thanks to his valor he helped save a lot of lives during the war. This in turn earned him the medal of honor.
He went on to join the Arkansas State police after the war, using his skills to help put criminals away. Earl Swagger was a tough yet fair law man. He made sure the criminals who deserved to be in jail were put in jail while helping the ones that needed it, setting theie life straight. Many owe their good fortune to Earl Swagger, as most other law men would not be so quick to help. Instead Earl Swagger took much pride in his job.
He also took pride in his family and their home, living in Polk County, Arkansas. His wife June Swagger, whom he loved very much, felt the exact same way about him. They were an inseparable pair and she always worried about him when he was on the job. Earl Swagger also has a son named Bob Lee Swagger, who much like his father knew his way around weapons. He also followed in his father’s footsteps, joining the Marines and becoming a Marine Gunnery Sergeant.
Earl Swagger has no problem taking on anything the law deems to be unfit, whether it be a petty criminal or helping out the FBI take down the mob that runs gambling and drugs and every other kind of illegal activity, in the Hot Springs area. No job is too big or small for Earl Swagger when it comes to the law.
But like most former military men Earl Swagger is haunted by the past, the things he has done and seen. But most of all he is haunted by the memories of his abusive father, which at first made him a bit reluctant to enter parenthood. Yet he fought the war in his mind and came out a better man for it.
Earl Swagger stands up for what he believes in, a real hero no matter the odds. He is faithful to the law and to his family. But above all else he is loyal to what is right and strives to make sure his part of the world is a better place.
