With a lot of exceptions of course, like some of the books on this site. So I'm not surprised by the idea of those snake scenes (for that reason ALONG WITH the "Freudian" one). <br /><br />It's a little like most of the Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-55528921548923079292013-07-09T12:01:27.747-05:002013-07-09T12:01:27.747-05:00Hey, Grant -- as I recall, the Fraulein is bitten ...Hey, Grant -- as I recall, the Fraulein is bitten by a snake and dies while she's fleeing from Hardin. Female villains being killed by snakes seems to be a recurring theme in this series (ie, volume #17). I'm sure there's some Freudian element at play. <br /><br />I'm also sure that if I re-read "Blood on the Strip" I'd be a little kinder on the novel; not sure Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-85149429890994691172013-07-07T18:28:35.194-05:002013-07-07T18:28:35.194-05:00I know this review goes back a long while, but I w...I know this review goes back a long while, but I wanted to ask once more about a "spoiler" when it comes to a femme fatale character (if you happen to remember). You mention that what happens with "the Fraulein" after the girl is kidnapped is kind of anti-climactic, but I was wondering just what does happen to her.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-86046225591829533102011-02-25T16:50:36.647-06:002011-02-25T16:50:36.647-06:00Thanks for the comments!

Sometimes though I like to assume that the REALLY bad men's adventure novels are just intentional parodies of the genre...but that's probably giving them too much credit.Joe Kenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285576322579808153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701602284718920546.post-19283844444688601442011-02-25T11:26:36.690-06:002011-02-25T11:26:36.690-06:00Yeah, knowing that #2 was written by the same guy ...Yeah, knowing that #2 was written by the same guy who wrote the #4 I reviewed, I'm beginning to think he's definitely the weaker of the two writers.
