Matt Helm is back and better than ever,
By A Customer
This review is from: Threateners (Mass Market Paperback)
Donald Hamilton once again weaves an intricate tale of intrique, deceit, and treachery as Matt Helm returns to an action packed thriller pitting him against drug lords and members of his own government. With Hamilton writing the story, you just can't lay the book down until the last page is read.

Secret Agent Matt Helm takes on a Drug King and the Gov't.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Threateners (Mass Market Paperback)
While recuperating from a previous mission, Matt Helm finds
himself thrust into an all too familiar role. Thinking
himself free of past entanglements, Matt is once again
called upon to teach various no-gooders, including a rival
government agency, that it doesn't pay to mess with one of
'Mac's' people.
This fast paced and highly readable 26th in the Matt Helm
series contains all the elements which have made Matt Helm a
fan favorite for over 25 years! Action, Adventure and, of
course, the protagonists own fallibility make Matt Helm the
archetypal All-American hero. Cudos to Donald Hamilton, for
keeping this series as fresh and topical as the day he
started writing it!

Game-Changing Paradigm Shift, Action not so much,
By Hibernating Hummingbird "hh" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Threateners (Mass Market Paperback)
Action-wise, other books in the series are to be preferred, hence the four stars.
But today's news includes whining by NATO general McChrystal on "Afghanistan now has Drug Cartels", and then there's the recent whining about Michael Jackson's death from a drug he CRAVED. In other words, how much of today's political landscape is linked to governments maintaining the medical-guild's monopoly on drugs, thus creating the coevolutionary arms-race between the drug-cartels and the drug-enforcement-agencies ? These new items recalled memory of this book's final scene - the game-changing-paradigm-shift is delivered towards the end. It doesn't spoil the plot to mention the lecture by the Drug Czar as his dog sits patiently by his side, while a tempting array of viands etc is laid out on the opulent dinner table. This particular breed of dog can control its urges, it doesn't leap onto the table. Googling (( dog "hard mouth" )) confirms that especially among retrievers ability-to-control-urges is a selectable trait. Decriminalizing drugs would tend to select for those with such an ability to resist that temptation, to my mind a nice kind of selection - vs the MAGNITUDE of the ever-growing-drug-cartel-problem, which without such a paradigm-shift stretches into the indefinite future... |
