Jim,
I know the Dean Martin "Matt Helms" movies put me off from
reading Hamilton's paperbacks for years. But I've read 4 or 5
of them over the last year and once you get a hang of what
he's up to, they're a fun go. The prose style is tight, what
I like about them. I do get the single word titles mixed up.
Right now I'm reading THE DEVASTATORS.
