Reviews

[Mike Kimmings-Field · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit different from other 60s/70s spy novels I’ve read. 😬 Bizarre torture methods, clichés everywhere.

Glad it was shorter than most books!

A nice rewrite of an old Pulp character. Recast more in the James Bond spy mode. Good quick men's adventure read. If you are looking for some fast paced action and adventure then this is a recommended read.

So bad it's good. So, so bad.
