Levon Cade #6
Levon's Time
The sixth book of the relentless Levon Cade series is full of unforgiving action.
Following the events of Levon’s War, Levon Cade is arrested in Turkey and imprisoned in a hellhole on the Black Sea coast. In order to come home, he must strike a deal with the United States government, and that comes at a price.
At home, his daughter Merry helps rescue a young victim of human trafficking, but this girl’s owners want her back—and they’re willing to kill anyone who gets in their way.

About the author
Chuck Dixon
3,436 books1,040 followersCharles "Chuck" Dixon is an American comic book writer, perhaps best-known for long runs on Batman titles in the 1990s.
His earliest comics work was writing Evangeline first for Comico Comics in 1984 (then later for First Comics, who published the on-going series), on which he worked with his then-wife, the artist Judith Hunt. His big break came one year later, when editor Larry Hama hired him to write back-up stories for Marvel Comics' The Savage Sword of Conan.
In 1986, he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy with artist Tim Truman. Continuing to write for both Marvel and (mainly) Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August 1987 and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October 1987, he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, under editor Archie Goodwin. He also produced a three-issue adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between 1989 and 1990, and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June 1989.
His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series. The mini proved popular enough to spawn two sequels - The Joker's Wild (1991) and Cry of the Huntress (1992) - which led to both an ongoing monthly series (which Dixon wrote for 100 issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics), and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from #644-738 through the major Batman stories KnightFall & KnightsEnd (for which he helped create the key character of Bane), DC One Million , Contagion , Legacy , Cataclysm and No Man's Land . Much of his run was illustrated by Graham Nolan.
He was DC's most prolific Batman-writer in the mid-1990s (rivalled perhaps in history by Bill Finger and Dennis O'Neil) - in addition to writing Detective Comics he pioneered the individual series for Robin , Nightwing (which he wrote for 70 issues, and returned to briefly with 2005's #101) and Batgirl , as well as creating the team and book Birds of Prey .
While writing multiple Punisher and Batman comics (and October 1994's Punisher/Batman crossover), he also found time to launch Team 7 for Jim Lee's WildStorm/Image and Prophet for Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios. He also wrote many issues of Catwoman and Green Arrow , regularly having about seven titles out each and every month between the years 1993 and 1998.
In March, 2002, Dixon turned his attention to CrossGen's output, salthough he co-wrote with Scott Beatty the origin of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl in 2003's Batgirl: Year One. For CrossGen he took over some of the comics of the out-going Mark Waid, taking over Sigil from #21, and Crux with #13. He launched Way of the Rat in June 2002, Brath (March '03), The Silken Ghost (June '03) and the pirate comic El Cazador (Oct '03), as well as editing Robert Rodi's non-Sigilverse The Crossovers. He also wrote the Ruse spin-off Archard's Agents one-shots in January and November '03 and April '04, the last released shortly before CrossGen's complete collapse forced the cancellation of all of its comics, before which Dixon wrote a single issue of Sojourn (May '04). Dixon's Way of the Rat #24, Brath #14 and El Cazador #6 were among the last comics released from the then-bankrupt publisher.
On June 10, 2008, Dixon announced on his forum that he was no longer "employed by DC Comics in any capacity."

This latest entry in the Levon Cade series isn't quite as action packed as the others. Levon spends most of the book in a Turkish prison, as his daughter tries to help an illegal alien girl escape from her predatory minders.
Not bad, but not as aggressive as the other books.

A small step back for Levon, a giant leap forward for Merry. In fact, her part of the story was the most compelling. Four stars for Merry. 3 for Levon. 3.5

Wow !
I’m up to book 8 and can hardly put this series down. I’m an 81 year old great-grandma who loves pulp fiction and these stories fit right in to what I enjoy. Love the inserts on his daughter Merry and how she is coming into her own. Keep them coming please.

Chuck Dixon – Levon Cade Bk 7 - Levon's Time – Reviewed 4/21/22 – Read 4/20/22
Imprisoned in Turkey, Levon can’t help Merry as she rescues a victim of human trafficking at home.
Levon Cade is arrested and imprisoned in a hellhole in Turkey for helping a young woman as she was about to be raped. Now to get out, Levon will have to set up a deal with the United States government, and he knows that will cost him plenty. Meanwhile, back home, Merry is at the mall with her friend when she witnesses a young girl shoplifting. Something felt wrong, so Merry follows as the girl leaves the store. She watched as the girl talked to some men of Spanish descent and could tell the girl was terrified of them. Taking things into her own hands, she confronts the girl and helps her escape from the men, bringing her to Gunny’s place, and the story begins.
Join Levon as he deals with his problem in Turkey, and Merry falls into terrible danger…
What did I like? This whole series has captured me; I love the leading characters of Levon and Merry with the ever-present Gunny, spouting his pearls of wisdom. Levon is the kind of man that every boy aspires to be, manly, rough, tough, and has the grit to get out of most situations on his own.
What will you like? Holy Mackerel, this book is filled with impossible situations that keep both Levon and Merry jumping. Thankfully, Merry had a little help from Jessie Hamer, Levon’s old girlfriend. But Wow, the girls are sure run through the wringer on this one!
What will you like? This series is one that just keeps exploding with fast action, incredible getaways, gun battles, kidnappings, law officials of all sorts, and our favorites Levon, Merry, and Gunny! I don’t know about you, but nothing could stop me from the next book as Chuck just keeps writing them better and better! Pick up your copy today in the next adventure of the Levon Cade Series, with Chuck Dixon’s “Levon’s Time,” which is available NOW!!!

"Levon's Time" doesn't quite cut the mustard and seems more like a pause in the series, setting the scene for what is to come.
For reasons that don't make any sense at all if put under the microscope Levon is languishing in a Turkish jail and has no contact with the outside world.
Meanwhile, back in Alabama, his daughter Merry rescues a young girl from the clutches of Mexican people traffickers. As they have 'bought' the girl they are understandably miffed and embark on a violent mission to get her back.
With no Uncle Fern around it is up to Merry to keep herself and Esmeralda alive. It turns out she's a chip off the old block.
And, back in prison, Levon makes his play.
It didn't quite work for me.
3 Stars.

HOOORAHHH, CD!
Blazing…Damn good writing! Duo storylines kept me totally engaged, Thank you for avoiding repeat filler pages which I always skip over in order to chase down Levon’s action packed scenario. Also, thank you for gifting your characters with the wisdom/faith to call on a higher power while facing unspeakable challenges. Grateful, CD!

The Levon Cade series just gets better and better, and Dixon gets more confident as a novelist with each book. I've read all of these back-to-back so far, and I still can't get enough of them. Going to take a short break to read the latest Stuart Turon, but coming straight back to Levon afterwards.

Better and better!
The Levon Cade books just get better as the series goes on. Got turned on to the books from Mike Baron's Biker series and have not been disappointed yet. Please keep both series going a long time. Love em!

Due diligence: I do help Mr Dixon with some of his social media.
However, I'm still a fan of his work. Cade is a very interesting character. A little fugitive mixed in with some reacher and some excellent storytelling.

Levon gets thrown in a maximum security prison for keeping a refugee from getting raped. Meanwhile, back home, his daughter Merry helps a young girl escape sex traffickers. Both are as tough as nails.

Dixon gets back on tract with this book in the Levon Cade series. Levon is stuck overseas and ends up in a Turkish prison. Merry makes decisions like her father and makes a choice that angers the cartel. Death and destruction ensues. Quick, fun and violent. Everything I am looking for!

Although I'm not convinced by the cause of his incarnation, I am a sucker for a behind bars story so I had plenty of Time for Levon's narrative thread here. Nothing particularly original but all very entertaining.
"He wasn't imprisoned in here with them. They were imprisoned in here with him."

Levons Time
This was a different story about Levon, he was being held captive in a foreign country prison. The story was great because it showed Levon’s ability to analyze and use the people around him. The whole story takes place is Turkey not a friendly country.

Did not like the beginning but I LOVED the middle and the end!

I liked Levon Cade in the story but I skipped chapters with daughter Merry. I just not that interested reading as side story without Levon directly involved.

Another well done action adventure, with Levon in jail and Merry dealing with hitters from a drug cartel!
Levon takes a pretty bad series of beatings in this one, for a good cause, and finally gets his revenge, but its a tough road to get there. The events of Levon and Merry alternate, showing each dealing with their problems. This story involves some sad experiences for girls and the evils of human trafficking.

Fast and violent action
This is the sixth book in the Cade series, but the first I’ve read. The great thing is that Dixon gives the new reader enough backside that we aren’t immediately lost.
Cade is on a mission because of a promise made long ago. He finds himself being held in a brutal detention camp with only a few chances to get out.
Meanwhile, his family back home is having its own problems when Cade’s daughter helps a young girl being used by a dangerous cartel.
After this I’m going to have to go back and read the rest of the series.

Cliff Hanging Until the Great Ending!
Dixon does a great job of dragging readers through horrendous situations of evil characters using others . . . until justice is served. Easy reading excitement throughout!
