============================ Starting off November a day
early, I've had the enviable opportunity to read FLASHFIRE -
and it's a *terrific* addition to the Parker legacy. In fact,
it's a welcome harkening back to the Parker of old - the true
hardboiled, ruthless, cold anti-hero...and stands up to the
very best of the series.
============================
This is welcome news indeed. Not only is the Parker series
one of the most readable ever written, it's one of the most
re-readable, and that's the highest praise I can
bestow.
======================================================================
The Stark "Parker" series is bar none my favorite series of
the genre
======================================================================
Mine too. It's amazing that "Stark" was able to do such a
good job of picking up the series again after almost a
quarter of a century. BUTCHER'S MOON would have been a fine
swan song, but it sure is nice when the swan turns out to be
a phoenix.
