Reviews

[Josh Hitch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Simple read of a spy trying to stop a Hitler like character from resurrecting Nazism. He of course Bond like gets every girl, but as cliche as it is, the story never slows down enough for it to matter. It does have a twist or two to keep you guessing a little as well.

A nice installment in the series, my second of many more I'm sure.

Read in the 80s

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.

Interesting story like the James Bond plots. I enjoyed reading this series when I did, many years ago ;)
