And so my obsession with the destroyer novels has come to an end. A great series of novels originally written by Warren Murphy and Richard Sapir about an ex-cop trained as an assassin to work for a secret US government sponsored agency. 149 books in total - although I only read 135.
I loved the first […]
And there I stood thinking I had found a bargain picking up 3 Dan Streib Hawk books at knock down give away prices.
Much though I love pulp fiction I could find nothing to endear me towards Hawk.
For some reason the author would never consistently refer to him by one name. One sentence we call him […]
So who wouldn’t want to get a six figure income from their blog? Well this book promises you the secrets. More specifically Darren Rowse and Chris Garrett offer this to the reader.
So the book takes the reader through the journey of each of the authors, with lessons interspersed. Many of which you will already […]
Ok, so I spot something wrong here. Had I made this the first Chris Ryan novel I read, I would never read another one. And yet this gets 4.5/5 on Amazon. Yet Strikeback, which I thoroughly enjoyed gets 3/5. who can I trust to decide which Chris Ryan novel to read next?

Don’t waste your time.
Cash in on the Da Vinci Code you say? Surely not. People have written templar consipracy novels for years prior to the Da Vinci Code. And this one proved fun to read.

Publishers do seem to enjoy novels about action based antiquarian book dealers though, I don’t know if I approve of that, but it […]
The first Chris Ryan novel I read. And I really liked it. Chris Ryan seems a worthy contender to Barry Sadler. I wonder if the Sadler estate could convince Chris Ryan to contribute to the Casca series.
At least we won’t get any more Casca books from Paul Dengelegi since the Casca writing has […]
I had high hopes for all these books. But sadly none of them worked out for me - lucky old charity shop.
Dead Beat by Jim Butcher forms part of the "Dresden Files" cannon - a splendid TV show if you ignore the Pilot episode. For the longest time reading the novel I thought I might […]
I read the first 3 Ripley books in a compendium form. And at the time I assumed that Patricia Highsmith had written only 3 Ripley books - since the blurb on the back said "collecting the Ripley novels under one cover". And then I stumbled across "Ripley Under Water" and then in the ‘also […]
