    Nice -- I picked up that same Kelly book and received the same(ish) remarque...pretty entertaining first installment of what is, as I recall, supposed to run to four or five volumes.

      Thanks and congrats to you as well. Looking forward to reading this story. I somehow forgot all about this series and didn't get in on the Thunderstorm series.

        Got a big pile of books from my King's Way Press lifetime subscription yesterday. 27 hardcovers and paperbacks.

            Picked up another PB. Maybe it's a trend?

              This Charles Addams print, used for the cover of From the Dust Returned Ray Bradbury, arrived today. I love it!

                Fantastic art. Will you be getting that framed?

                    Would love to hear a review of this once you have read it. That blurb from the intro by Michael Marshall Smith has me very close to picking this one up.

                      I know that it's not fancy or limited, but, I just picked-up the new Don Winslow, City of Fire, and am very excited to read it. Anytime a new Don Winslow book is released is a reason to celebrate as he might be my favorite (living) crime writer (with James Sallis a close second).

                        I think the first Winslow book I read was The Winter of Frankie Machine, and I was hooked. Every book I read by him was fantastic, so when The Force was coming out, I ordered a signed copy. That book read like he wrote it in a week to fulfill a contract. It was just awful. I wanted to throw the book across the room when he had native New Yorkers saying things like "Take the 95 North to the 4 West". No one outside of SoCal would ever say "the 95", or "the 4". He also pulled in every cop cliche ever written.

                        Everything since then has been up to his usual high standard, so I'm looking forward to reading City of Fire.

                            The only book (save for a surfer mystery I read so long ago I can't recall anything about it) I've read of his is, of course, that "awful" book, THE FORCE, and while it started strong I was also unimpressed, and decided he just wasn't for me, contrary to the love many have for his body of work. I couldn't figure out what I was missing that everybody else saw. Maybe with the above in mind, I'll have to give him another shot...maybe.
