Block introduced Evan Tanner, specialist in lost political causes, in this rousing, often comic 1966 yarn. Unable to sleep for 15 years following a Korean War head wound, Tanner devotes his considerable free time to reading, learning languages, and turning his affliction into a livelihood by writing theses and dissertations for graduate students in New York. Then he learns of hidden Armenian gold in Turkey and sets off on an unlikely adventure that makes him the most wanted fugitive in the world as well as the accidental leader of a Macedonian revolt. Block's tale gets off to an engaging start, sags in the middle partly because of some bone-jarring violence, and recovers neatly at the end. Nick Sullivan handles the characters' many accents quite well. Highly recommended.

Ingram
He's an ex-soldier with a habit of taking up lost causes and picking up beautiful women, and he hasn't slept a wink since a piece of Korean shrapnel destroyed the sleep center of his brain. The FBI has a file on him, and the CIA is watching his every move, but a super-secret intelligence organization has decided that he's exactly the sort of man they need.
