Was always worried that one was too padded. I have issues with absurdly long books, especially when they're loaded with filler. Killing Floor had a little bit of that, namely with that jazz musician Jack Reacher went to see the grave of or whatever.

Damon and Affleck would be just the right age to have read this series in junior high/high school and for it to have made an impression on one of them, so I really think you might be onto something.

Zwolf, y...Thanks a lot for the comments, everyone.<br /><br />Zwolf, you are right about those covers. "Who cares?" sums them up perfectly. Hell, for the also-lame C.A.D.S. covers they at least drew a different gun for each book. And you're right, it's the sixth volume that's pretty scarce.

You lavish the same detail and humor on the negative ones as the positive ones. The only way we'd mind is if you stopped writing them. After all these years do you fear you might burn out?

I basically liked this book, but it definitely IS overlong, and the hero's too passive for too long, and then gets so ruthless he's pretty much an anti-hero... which I did kinda like, up to a point. That can work, sometimes, but even Dan Marlowe had to dial back on it once they turned <i>The Name of the Game is Death</i> into a whole series. Mostly I liked it because the Zwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02364540771153476179noreply@blogger.com
