Members Reviews:

Dan Fowler G-Man

Production of book is nice, though the spine is slightly off center. Cover art is okay, but might have worked better if the coloring was toned down. The b&w interior art was well done. This is the first new Fowler volume since 1953, and it's good to see the G-Man back in action. There are four stories, each approximately 15,000 words.

"The Dungeon Of Death" by Gregory Bastianelli leads off the volume with a mad scientist (professor of theology), dying of cancer. Worried about life after death, he has two stooges kidnap bums and hobos from the streets. By killing them, but he hopes to find what lies beyond death. The F.B.I. is called into the case when they kill a sailor. No crime solving techniques. Fowler goes under cover to set himself up as a victim, is captured with Larry Kendal and Sally Vane, then subjected to torture. The author tells us about a venomous Madagascar Millipede (he calls an insect), though I've never heard of one. Madagascar Millipedes are poisonous if you eat them. They aren't venomous. Centipedes are venomous, and their bite is nasty. Nor are they insects. Writing is awkward and could have been tightened.

"Harvest of Crime" by B.C. Bell is a gem of a tale involving a manhunt. A bank robbery leads a team of F.B.I. and law enforcement to a farm where the crooks are holed up. The leader escapes after a shoot out, killing an F.B.I. agent, and Dan Fowler is assigned the case with his partner, Larry Kendal. Well written, and entertaining. This is a nice tribute to the original series.

"The Music Of Murder" by Aaron Smith. Uh, let's see, musicians hypnotize an audience with their music, and while they are under mind control, the band robs them. Then a senator is killed by this technique, which brings in the F.B.I. Sally Vane and her cousin - who is deaf - are flown in to help uncover the deeds. Fowler beats the bandleader in the police cell until he divulges information about his boss. Fowler sends Sally and her cousin back to Washington, then he and Larry Kendal head to Chicago to get the boss. He is captured, tempted by a Chinese pleasure girl, then has to fight a big Chinaman, and all the time the mastermind is holding Sally Van and her cousin (when and how did he get them?) on a platform above a shark pool! This is poorly written, and a bad plot.

"The League of Dead Patriots" by Andrew Salmon is a well-written story, but really goes nowhere. Fowler and Kendal are after black marketers with a military connection, which leads to a Japanese Internment Camp in northern California. The Domino Lady and a mysterious man named Joe McGoohan, who appears to be aiding the mastermind, balk them at every turn.

There were some typos throughout the book, but not enough to be distracting.
