What is lost Iraqi treasure doing in the Florida Keys?
Passport is a wild-eyed opportunist covered head-to-toe in passport stamp tattoos. And, he has a proposition for Walt—help raise a submerged priceless treasure and keep your share of the bounty. But, that’s not the deadly part…
Passport - Good Lord, I love the stuff that comes out of Andrew's imagination. I hurt myself belly laughing my way through the pages. Yes, there's Walt and Ilsa, but no DB. Passport does a wonderful job taking DB's place as the third wheel to W&I. I would like to see DB and Passport working together in a future book. Plenty of humor, action and intrigue. Needs a new editor, the same from the last book. I contacted the author to review his books. 5*
Killers, Bikers and Freaks #1 - A well written, action packed suspense novel. The characters and plot are well thought out and believable. The author's writing style reminds me a lot of Jimmy Buffet's and Elmore Leonard. I hope the next book I read by this author will be edited better, he's too good of a writer; he lost a star on this book. 5*
Sell Shock (#1.5) - Picks up where Killers, Bikers and Freaks left off. A well written, funny, twisting plot with the same lovable characters and more. By the second chapter, you're already LYAO and sucked in for the ride. You can't help it, may as well be a cat needing to satisfy its curiosity. And satisfaction is what you get, until the story ends and you're going, What, it can't be over! You've got to read Killers, Bikers and Freaks first; this is where we meet our fine, funny characters and get hooked on this author's work. 5*
Bodies, Blades & Rituals #2 – OMGosh! It’s the first sentence and I’m already rolling on the floor LMAO! I love the books by Andrew Allan; you can’t be in a rotten mood when you reading one of his hilarious, action packed, intriguing little yarns. Do yourself a favor and read them in order; it’s the only way to get the full entertainment value of these books. BB&R starts where Sell Shock ends, a few weeks later. Well-written, suspense filled, action packed, with touches of humor; BB&R keeps the reader intrigued. It was difficult to put the book down once I started reading it. We have our continuous cast of characters that keep us cheering and rooting for them. And of course, the bad guys are BAD. The subject of the story is current and is just as horrible as in Roman Times or 600 or even 200 years ago; meaning it’s a dark side of humanity. Like drugs, it’s not only for the lower class, but indulged in by a worse class of people. 5*
Walt's Fault - Oh boy, did Walt step on, and in, it big time. DB calls in a favor since Walt owes him. W can't say no, he owes DB. All kinds of things happen in this quickly read, short read. Action packed and intriguing, with the usual dirty characters found in DB's world and a couple of kinks that make everything extremely interesting. The ending was a little too quick. I contacted this author to review his books and he's never disappointed me with one of his stories. 4*
Temples, Tempests & Blood #3 - I absolutely love this series! I have so much fun with the escapades, the humor and the characters Walt and DG. While there is plenty of humor, there is darkness and violence, and the baddies are depraved.
While you can read this book by itself, I strongly recommend that you start at the beginning or read the previous book at least. This well written series is hard to put down when started and each book builds upon the previous foundation. The pace is always fast and the dialogues are always snappy, witty, scary, etc., but realistic. The characters run the gamut but Walt, DG and Ilse are the center. The descriptions are vivid but never graphic, and certainly places the reader in the spider/fly's position.
While managing the lighthearted side of the characters and their lives, Mr. Allan does not shy away from horrible crime subjects. I contacted this author to review his books and I have loved every one so far. Yes, his editing improved immensely since his first book, but I noticed he found a dumb editor/publisher? this time around. 5*
Another Walt Asher action packed page turner. I read this in one sitting because I could not put it down. Walt and his wife Olsa are in the Florida Keys for a vacation. They are at an auction and meet Passport. Passport offers them a treasure hunt experience. They are on a boat pulling up the bags of gems when a boat approaches with men with guns. This starts the non stop action.
The Unpopular Sheriff - This book proves that Walt and DB are not the only characters in the world of Andrew Allan that are interesting and able to get the job done. A deputy elected sheriff inpon the murder of his father, the previous sheriff handles his job responsibilities, the kidnapping of a young child and corruption while dealing with influential forces trying to get him ousted. The storylines are intriguing and keep the reader immersed until the last page. The characters run the gamut from good to plain evil. Realistic personalities, realistic dialogues and a vivid imagination from a talented storyteller with a fast pace, humor and twists make this difficult to put down. Never once, does the reader think "I wish W and DB was here". Mininmal vulgar language and no graphic gore. 5*

Grindhouse Pulp Series: The Pimp's Henchman, #1 - I love this author's work and this quickly read novella had me hurting from all the belly laughs. This is a gory, vulgar and in places twisted story, but that's what happens in this line of work. While the descriptions are vivid, they aren't actually graphic when it comes to the violence. The scene at the end is a little strong, but this is a very sick, twisted sadist in charge. Hang in there, it gets funny, not the sicko stuff but how it's stopped by a "wow, handy that was just laying around" thingie. If you liked the other books by Mr. Allen and things like Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty, you'll like this funny, dark story, too. It's definitely a good way to spend a little time relaxing. I contacted the author to review his books. 5*
Black Magic Massacre, #3 - A quickly read funny, gory, touch of girlie, voodoo vibes, ridiculous but entertaining and intriguing story. Walt and DB are probably wondering about the change in genre by their creator. Oh, family and romance are also part of the story. The last sentence was great. 4* Grindhouse Pulp Series end.
After his fight with the Kith Walt and his wife Ilsa are on vacation when they are approached by Passport, a mysterious man who askes them to join him in a treasure hunt. But seems Walt is attracting trouble as usual. An entertaining new novella in the Walt Asher universe.
More madcap mayhem from Andrew. Lost treasure, a pirate named Passport and Walt all come together to make a quirky and somewhat funny story. A quick read while we wait for the next book.
What's more relaxing than a wonderful vacation? Walt and Ilsa may never find out as they find themselves in hot water again. New "friends" lead to new adventures - there's never a dull moment with these two! Can't wait for what comes next :)
Another great Walt Asher criminal cartel mystery in Florida. Passport is quite the character. Story moves fast, keeps you guessing big time and on the edge of your seat. Hard to put down. Can’t wait for the next Walt Asher book to come out!
Another awesome read! Walt & Ilsa go on vacation and get into more trouble, wanting to find some stolen coins, which they didn’t know to start with. Leads to lots of trouble. Definitely a recommended must read
Another short novella adventure of Walt and Isle Asher. Allan introduces the "pirate" Passport who takes the couple on a tour to recover stolen artifacts, tangle with a cartel and visit the south Everglades. Great (improbable) fun
This is a short and sweet one. Even so no less good. It is in typical Walt Asher fashion full of act and surprises all the way. Cannot wait for the next one. Highly recommended.
