#62 -Voyages Of Discovery, Time Life BOOK REVIEW

I’ve sometimes wondered why the Mexican drug cartels are so incredibly brutal. You’d expect gangs to enforce their control through violence, including murder, and perhaps even the occasional demonstrative killing in which the victim is particularly brutally slaughtered. The cartels …

#61 – Tiger Tracks, Wolfgang Faust BOOK REVIEW

This book is an English translation of a memoir serialised as Panzerdammerung (‘Panzer Twighlight’) shortly after it was written in July 1948. The author describes in the introduction that some press critics have deemed it “needlessly controversial”, “too provocative” or …

#56 – The Executioner Volatile Agent, Don Pendleton BOOK REVIEW

#55 – The Destroyer Chinese Puzzle, Warren Murphy BOOK REVIEW

It’s funny how a series of books can change in tone as the author struggles to develop them. They’ll perhaps begin quite similar to whatever inspired them, then as the author finds his narrative voice (or responds to reader input) …
