Paul’s comments from the Point Blank group.

I have been making my way throught the Victor; The Assassin srs with surprising results;The Final Hour
I recommend the series with a few reservations.

Just finished This Storm . The follow up to 'Perfidia'. This Storm is the second book in the new Quartet.

Finished 'Wrecked' a couple days ago Geoff. Very enjoyable.

Provinces of Night by William Gay an excellent choice Randy.

The UNCUT, yes. Kindle version, but still.

Geoff, Geoff, Geoff... do yourself an ENORMOUS favour and read EVERYTHING William Gay wrote in his unfortunately short career.
I wouldn't start with 'The Lost Country', although there's nothing wrong with it, but read ANY of his other novels first.
Provinces of Night, Little Sister Death for statrters or if you want to dip your toes into his short stories, read either of his short story collections. Time Done Been Won't Be No More has the bonus of an interview with WG, which will give you an insight into the man.
I envy you, reading him for the first time.

I have resumed reading Nightmare Alley , but have also started reading The Lost Country . William Gay being in my top 10 writers, if not in my top 5.
