The Skin Swindle

Ninja Master #7

by Wade Barker

The Porn King's kingdom is vast; beautiful women and children are his slaves, bondage his politics, and death his ultimate discipline. Chained to the wall of the Porn King's palace, death always arrives. But never quite fast enough.

Brett Wallace enters this hell of terror and degradation in order to trap the King where he lives - for only the secret art, the hidden weapons, the lighting strike of the Ninja Master can shatter his power.

Brett is going after the sickest. vile, scumbag fucks who produce underage porn and snuff films. These human pricks made stuff for these evil depraved people to watch. Brett will not rest until he has found and killed the kingpin. Brett will see the seedy part of LA, cruisers cruising and hookers hooking. Brett will use chopsticks and shove into throats, blood spraying, shurikens sticking into eyes and necks, poison darts spat into veins, coins throw and embedded into necks. This one lacked the ninja action. One of my least favorite.

i got this book from a thrift store. it is apparently for men, by a man. chapter 1 describes a porn audition by a young child, but chapter 2 has the ninja master making sweet love to his asian girlfriend. excellent juxtaposition. totally digusting. i read the whole thing.

Ninja Master #7: “The Skin Swindle” by Wade Barker (Unknown). Brett Hartley reads a newspaper article about pornography in Los Angeles, and the mysterious Porn King that runs the network of smut films and kiddie porn, and decides he wants to put a stop to it. He brings his pal, Jeff Archer with him from San Francisco, and he sets up a meeting with the reporter, Samantha Loring to get inside information, pretending to be a reporter from Japan. The story is long and boring, the first 75 pages is nothing but the set up, describing child pornography, and is so badly written I wonder how it was ever considered for publication. 7 to 10-year-old kids talk like children one minute and adults the next. But, then, pornography does sale, and that’s basically all this was. We do see some martial arts later on, but it was laughable, and I’m still wondering why Jeff Archer was included. He never did anything right. Maybe he was just there to show how good Brett Hartley is? This isn’t worth reading, so save your money.
