I remember carrying home tall stacks of library books in the summertime and spending entire days immersed in my heroes’ latest adventures as a kid. This continued as I grew up, as I learned that I ought to be a hero, too, by confronting evil both within and without. So I took steps to face my fears, and now when I write about good guys fighting bad guys in my own action fiction, it’s with a real passion for doing what’s right, for making this world better, even if it’s in my own way and only just a little.
As I indicated earlier, I am a Lee Child superfan. I’ve read all his original books. A thick (and expensive) biography. A long essay he wrote on heroism. All his short stories. You get the idea. So it was fun to re-read this book, his first.
It wasn’t what I remembered, that’s for sure! Yes, the action scenes are vivid and instructive (Child writes about the utility of a headbutt versus the risk of breaking your hand with a punch), and the action is what I remember most. But there’s more to this book than fights: there’s a major romance, which the author writes with gusto and in detail, heavy on feelings, not on private parts; the prose is better than solid, with imagery that really makes it come alive; and the story is plausible and tightly woven, with plenty of surprises.

The US government has agreed to provide Taiwan with a weapons system so advanced that it can disrupt the balance of power in the region. But what pilot would be crazy enough to run…
I had read Last of the Breed by Louis L'Amour in high school and was pleasantly surprised at the time. When I picked up this book, admittedly a little on the cheap side, I wasn't expecting that much. I was pleasantly surprised.
For a book about a writer, I gleaned some good writerly advice. For that, I am very thankful. Louis L'Amour seemed to be a prolific writer to me. Whenever I've gone to a garage sale or noticed his books at a library, there just seemed to be so many of his books. To find out that he wrote about a page a day (according to this book) was refreshing for me. So many times, with today's standards, it feels like authors are supposed to put out about a book a month (or faster).
One other thing that fascinated me was that he truly researched the history of the…
Some very light spine creasing and light edge wear. Roller stamp on top edge. Age discoloring, but tight and no other marks. Shps very quickly and packaged carefully!
