I'll add my praise for Kent Anderson, but with some
reservations. While Night Dogs was generally excellent, it
was also in serious need of a better editor. The force of the
story was diminished by an overabundance of pages. Anderson
needs to tighten up a bit.
As far as I can tell, he's not yet become a star because
1)his commitment to the genre is not yet proven (two other
books are direct Vietnam experiences), and 2)while Night Dogs
did receive good paperback distribution, the hardcover was
done by McMillan and thus limited his exposure.
Had an opportunity to pick up both Kent Harrington's THE DARK
RIDE and DIOS DE LA MUERTA today. Didn't do it, but the
decision is attacking me while I settle down in front of
football. Maybe I'll go back and rectify the situation
tomorrow.
Best regards,
... Reed
