Status Updates From Montezuma's Revenge (Tony H...

I…love this. I was nervous about a 1972 adventure romp with a Mexican setting being…horrid, let’s say? So, read it and educate me on how misguided I am, but IMHO, this is a wonderful ride through Mexico - starring, mind you, an American of Apache descent, and some Israeli characters. I think all this is being handled with respect - especially locale descriptions, food and drink, etc. Espionage plot is also great!

It quacks just the teeniest bit like a Western, so again, this makes the cut for June. I suspect what I’ve really got here is some kind of gonzo Spy actioner, set in Mexico - and I love Espionage fiction, so away we go. I think this fits in with watching The Wild Wild West, Season 1, this month, which has been a lot of fun.
