Historia
Evan Smoak is a highly trained former government assassin who has survived for years by keeping his circle to a few trusted confidants and a strict code he calls “The Ten Commandments.” But when Evan suddenly finds himself at odds with his oldest friend, all the rules he lives by shatter—and the consequences are murderous. Tommy Stojack might be Evan's best friend in the world. He’s a gifted gunsmith who has created much of Evan's own weapons and combat gear. But now, he has apparently crossed one of Evan's hardest lines and their argument explodes into open warfare.

A mixed reaction
Revisado: 04-29-25
I loved the writing, as always. The retreaded "Batman vs. Superman" plot device, not so much.

Historia
It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Well-written but depressing
Revisado: 07-16-24
This mini-saga of five young friends chasing the same dream starts off with a long exhibition dump more suitable to a novel than a short story. Overall, I enjoyed reading this, including Ed Harris' narration, but was disappointed by the ending.

Historia
Clete Purcel—private investigator, ex-member of the New Orleans Police Department, and war veteran with a hard shell and just a few soft spots—is Dave Robicheaux’s longtime friend and partner in detective work. But he has a troubled past. When Clete leaves his car at the local car wash, only to return to find it ransacked by a group of thugs tied to the drug trade from Mexican cartels to Louisiana, it feels personal—his grandniece died of a fentanyl overdose, and his fists curl when he thinks of the dealers who sold it.

Short on plot, long on hallucinations. Still, an enjoyable read for those like me who have enjoyed Clete's involvement in the Robichaux novels over the years.

Chock full of cliches and fantasy stereotypes.

With "iron resolve," I vow not to read anymore of this turgidly written crapola. Unfinishable, after barely 2 chapters.

Earl Swagger is back, with a vengeance
Revisado: 05-06-23
This is one of the few Audible novels I will be listening to twice -- if not more. Stephen Hunter is the single best action/thriller writer out there, an icon of the genre emulated by more recent war lords such as Mark Greaney, whom I also love to read. Here, Swagger is tasked with defeating a German crack sniper team in the French "bullet garden," i.e. a patchwork of trees and open fields perfect for sniper activity. As well, there's a second plot stream about spies that also kept my interest. Highly recommended. Welcome back Stephen Hunter!

I couldn't stand listening to the narrator
Revisado: 08-24-22
I downloaded this book expecting something along the lines of Jack Reacher or the Gray man. After about an hour of listening to him shouting into the microphone, affecting cliched voices, and generally hamming it up, I had to stop. I'm going to return this audible version and probably purchase the kindle.

Murder is a dangerous game
Revisado: 06-23-22
This early Perry title represents yet another variation on a popular short story by Richard Connell, though the author pulls it off better than most. The main character, Mallon, is pursued by a gaggle of killers who are mostly out for sport. Little do they know that Mallon has the advantage of a super power: uncanny good luck. The only real flaw in the novel, apart from too much focus on irrelevant back stories of very minor characters, is one huge and unbelievable coincidence involving Mallon's attorney. The narrator, Michael Kramer, once again mangles the pronunciations of California cities and towns, though apart from that he is an effective reader. He just needs to spend some time in SoCal.

Ever since, there's been a price on his head. Now, after a decade, they've found him.

Black comedy of errors
Revisado: 06-08-22
I've read and listened to this iconic crime novel twice now, and am starting the third. If you can listen to the first 15 minutes without being hooked, good luck to you. The ribald story told by the Honourable Meg, by itself, is well worth the price of admission.
