Hi,
I read OPERATION FIREBALL the other day and liked it. It gets
a little unbelievable at the end, when Earl Drake and three
guys con their way into Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and then break
out and head to Havana to steal millions of hidden dollars,
but it's a good tough story without any frippery. Is this the
first Drake book? He comes off as a cross between Parker and
McGee. It's the first one I've read, but I'll look for
more.
I started ASSIGNMENT--BANGKOK, by Edward S. Aarons, a Sam
Durell book, but dropped it halfway through. It's a Fawcett
Gold Medal, like the Marlowe book, and Aarons has had good
reviews on the list. Is this just a bum one?
