Pulp secret agent goes up against a conspiracy threatening the US

âDay of the Destroyersâ is a New Pulp linked anthology from Moonstone Books. It stars Jimmy Flint, Agent X-11 of the Intelligence Service Command as he fights against a conspiracy by the Medusa Council to take over the United States.

Jimmy Flint is your typical spy/secret agent character from the pulps, fighting a secret war against enemies, foreign and domestic, of the U.S. A veteran of WWI, a master of various forms of unarmed combat, as well as having various weapons to help him, including a special gun, various items described as pens, and others. He answers to his boss, Number 6, and is aided by his uncle Jack Flint, who is a retired spy known as Falcon-7 who has gathered other former spies as the âShadow Service.â Later in the series he gains a young sidekick. (However, one writer flubbed and referred to Jimmie as âJackâ in his story.)

The Medusa Council is a shadowy group of plutocrats who plan to overthrow FDRâs government in a bloody coup. They have bring in Col. Lucian Starliss, who Jimmy had served with in WWI, to lead this effort. The Colonel was maimed in the war, and now has a mechanical arm and a scarred face. The Medusa Council has people from other countries in the ranks, including mad scientists and more. Interesting, the group is inspired by an apparently real group that planned to do the same, and even tried to recruit Major Gen. Smedley Butler, who turned them down.

In addition to Jimmy, some stories have other pulp heroes âcross over.â The Green Lama appears in Adam Lance Garciaâs tale. The Black Bat and Phantom Detective show up in a couple of others, the Bat working solo with the Phantom teaming up. And we get a new pulp character, Gray Face, who is a counter-spy and takes out some of the Councilâs agents.

As noted, this is a linked anthology, not a short story collection or a novel. The 12 parts were written by different authors, all under the direction of Gary Philips, who edited the book and wrote some of the parts. So I would recommend reading them in order, which is what I did.

Now, if Jimmy Flint seems familiar, thatâs a fair assessment. This work stated with the plan that this would be an Operator #5 collection, and announced as such. But Argosy Communications decided to pull the rights for all their characters from Moonstone to take them to Dynamite.

Title: The Seventh Sinner

Subtitle: The Jacqueline Kirby Mysteries, Book 1

Author: Elizabeth Peters

Narrator: Grace Conlin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-02-18

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

For vibrant, lovely Jean Suttman, the fellowship to study in Rome was the culmination of her dreams, until she undertook an innocent expedition to the ancient Temple of Mithra. From the moment she stepped into the pagan darkness and discovered the corpse of Albert, one of her fellow students, she was afraid.

Not even the comforting presence of the perceptive and practical Jacqueline Kirby could erase the fear that was nourished by one small accident after another, "accidents" that came dreadfully close to killing her. Someone was stalking Jean, someone ruthless and determined.

Before long she could see no chance of rescue from the ever-present terror, no hope of escape, nothing but death.

and I didn't love it the way I loved Be Buried in the ...

I am more familiar with Elizabeth Peters from her years of writing as Barbara Michaels. This particular book was a slow starter for me, and I didn't love it the way I loved Be Buried in the Rain or Ammie Come Home. But if you are looking for a well-written, mild-adventure story, this might be the way to go.

Fun, well written

Enjoyed the characters, the location, the reparte. Not too gory or terrorizing but pleasantly entertaining. I will read more from this author.

Four Stars

It was good but I expected more from jacquline

Interesting characters and plot

an enjoyable work. The comments about Rome and student fellowships were interesting. Jacqueline presented a totally different take on a mystery "character."

Five Stars

One of my favorite Authors for Romantic Suspense !! Very good !!

Mason Dixon What a Waste

This book was poorly written. The reader was not engaging but he did not have much to work with. The character came across as a dumb jock but not evens jock. There were pieces of the book that did not make sense.

Adequate story

It's ok...tries to have Joe Ledger bks attitude, Some of John Rain bks reasoning & expounds on his liquor knowledge, Gray man standards/skills...and a little of old tv show Equalizer mentality....Seemed like a jumble, the places where he went on &on were ones that often didn't need it, &where u really wanted more info or background or something there was nothing. lf I had a do over for this credit, I wouldn't. Narrator was fine but could use lessons from Ray Porter.

Narrator: Kris Dyer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-14-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Publisher's Summary:

A successful entrepreneur in the mushroom industry, Jaakko Kaunismaa is a man in his prime. At just 37 years of age, he is shocked when his doctor tells him that he's dying. What is more, the cause is discovered to be prolonged exposure to toxins; in other words, someone has slowly but surely been poisoning him.

Determined to find out who wants him dead, Jaakko embarks on a suspenseful roller-coaster journey full of unusual characters, bizarre situations and unexpected twists. With a nod to Fargo and the best elements of the Scandinavian noir tradition, The Man Who Died is a thriller brimming with the blackest comedy surrounding life and death, and love and betrayal, marking a stunning new departure for the king of Helsinki Noir.

A fresh story line albeit a bit slow

Not a fast mover but a good story with good characters. New storyline that I havent heard before.

Very interesting and different

This was a fantastic listen, a bit sarcastic and with some irony but also different.

Knew it was good right from 1st page

Original. Interesting how time slows when you are in critical moments. How you notice many simultaneous minutiae. Well described here. Good yarn. Loved it. Narrator hit just the right type of delivery.

dog walker sussex

Having read great reviews on Amazon, I was so disappointed with the narrator. Gave up!.

Jaako is a Funguy (sic)

A book that achieves the novel scenario of allowing a man to investigate his own murder without any supernatural chicanery doesn't sound like one to be taken lightly. However The Man Who Died really can't be taken that seriously either. The disclaimer at the start of the book probably guides you towards the correct approach to this one.

For me this book was a really light ride. Plenty of wry smiles, I very much warmed to Jaako from the start. A decent guy in a ridiculous situation. There aren't too many laugh out loud moments but I was pleasantly charmed by the whole thing from early on and it's an intriguingly original story.

The narration by David Hackston feels to hit a lot of the right notes even if maybe it is a little dry in terms of delivery.

So, possibly a niche book but if you fancy something a little different in your Scandinavian noir then this tale set in the murky world of mushroom entrepreneurs is well worth a try.

Title: Evelyn Marsh

Author: S. W. Clemens

Narrator: Susanna Burney

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-01-17

Publisher: Scott William Clemens

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Everyone agreed Evelyn wouldn't hurt a fly, but they didn't count on a mother's fierce love, nor the fury of a woman scorned. Written in the spirit of Patricia Highsmith, Evelyn Marsh begins with the provocative statement that "Evelyn's first murder was an accident." The rest of the book exists to explain the implication embedded in that first line. It's a why-done-it and how-done-it, instead of a who-done-it.

Members Reviews:

A Quick Fun Murder Read

What did you love best about Evelyn Marsh?

The voice of the main character.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Evelyn Marsh. Smart, lovely, charming, funny, and diabolical. A killer combination.

What does Susanna Burney bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Brings the characters to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book grabs you from the first sentence. It's a fast read

Any additional comments?

The storyline is an intriguing take on the betrayed lover, revenge, and ones idea of how justice, or perhaps, karma is defined and carried out. A quick and fun read for those of you who like this genre.

An adroit, modern murder mystery

Evelyn Marsh is a unique and clever murder mystery. You actually find yourself sympathizing with the killer because the people in her life are so awful.

Clemens has authored a mystery set in modern America so readers will fill right at home with the technology. And Susana Burney brings the characters to life.

If you like mysteries, I highly recommend Evelyn Marsh.

Another poetic mystery classic

I read a lot of books in a lot of different genres and James Lee Burke is one of the top 3 masters of using the English language Iâve ever encountered. His prose is poetic. The novel itself is wonderfully plotted. The setting is more vivid than most movies because of Burkeâs gift for elegant prose. Burke is intimately familiar with his protagonist, Robicheaux and Robicheauxâs troubled best friend Clete. Robicheaux is one of the titans of the mystery genre having been the protagonist in well over a dozen Burke novels.

I recommend this novel to any fans of the mystery genre. If you donât like or have never read mysteries, you will still enjoy the book due to the quality of the prose.

The only warning Iâll give is if graphic violence offends you, Burke is not an author youâd enjoy.

Purple Cane Road leads to the depth of Southern Louisiana

Since this story is number 11 I have missed a lot, but it stands up well as the story of the region and a complex group of bums and cops and heroic women trying to make it.

The past comes forward to dominate the present. One can feel the rain and smell the mud as weather, sweat and word pictures draw us into the life.

My comments are not new to regular readers, but my recommendation is the fact that I'm now going to find number 1 and run the table.

Purple Cane Road

Oh wow.........this is the best book ever. Out of all the books in the Dave Robicheaux series this is my favorite one yet. James Lee Burke is an absolute genius and the best writer that I have ever had the pleasure to read. Amazing!

Excellent

My first by this author, certainly not the last. Because I spent time in this part of Louisiana I quickly slid into the rhythm of the place he created. Well done.

great read!

As always James Lee Burke satisfies! It is hard to put this book down. Mr. Burke always gives you thought provoking insights into life in Louisiana.

Publisher's Summary:

Remember that time you dated that complete nutcase and said to yourself, "I wish Future Me would have come back and warned me about this"? Remember when you and your drunk friends said, "If it's such a bad idea, someone would come back from the future and stop us", right before it blew up in your face and got you in trouble? It would be great to have someone from the future to guide your life, wouldn't it?

Landon Bridges' life hasn't always been perfect, but now he's in college and determined to make a fresh start and transform himself from high school geek to college chic...well, less geeky guy. He's finally attained his life-long goal of studying physics in college under a renowned professor. He's met the girl of his dreams and made friends with some of the cool frat guys. Things are going great, until he shows up.

A mysterious stranger intervenes to help Landon out of a terrible, possibly life changing situation, but what does he want? Why does he keep showing up? Who is he? Landon's esteemed professor suddenly seems like a flake. Landon's briefly idyllic college world seems to be spinning out of control. Landon needs to control his world and, in the process of regaining his sanity and his grip on reality, he discovers that he has talents and allies that he never imagined. But is what they're telling him the truth?

The truth is just the lie we've chosen to believe, and yours may be different than mine.

I want More

I am so glad I got the chance to listen to this one. A cheeky mix of a coming of age story for a young man, a guide to time travel and college parties. A very cool listen. If you are like me and loved Karate Kid then this story will make you laugh and definitely keep your attention for a few hours. The characters are very likable and you learn to like them more and more as the story goes on. There are so many pop culture and science fiction references/ shout outs sprinkled throughout this book that it gives it a kind of authenticity. With all the different timelines intermingled it lends a sort of confusion that is not confusing at all but gives this time travel tale a little something different. The main characters sarcasm is so cheeky and fun that you cannot help but laugh at him, in a geeky way. If you are anything like me then you will love listening to the main character geek out in the college dorms and navigate his way through his freshman year. The narrator does a phenomenal job with this entire story, but especially the sarcasm. Each character has their own unique sound it gives them personality. There were scenes that you could really hear the urgency and tension in the narrators voice. What a great listen and I cannot wait for this series to be continued. I was provided a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for a honest review via Audiobook Boom. This is no way affected my opinion of this work.

Fascinating story

Although it started slow for me, I ended up loving this book! It's a fascinating new take on the genre; it will definitely make you think. Not only is the time-travel aspect interesting but, the action and mystery in the book keep you guessing, too.

Publisher's Summary:

Maggie Olsen had a pretty ordinary childhood - swimming and sleepovers, movie nights and dad jokes. But then there were the other things...the darker things...the shadow that followed her home from the cemetery and settled into the corners of her home, refusing to let her grow up in peace.

Now, after three years of being away from the place she's convinced she inadvertently haunted, and after yet another family tragedy strikes, Maggie is forced to return to the sweltering heat of a Savannah summer to come to terms with her past. All along, she's been telling herself it was just in your head, and she'd nearly convinced herself that she'd imagined it all. But the moment Maggie steps into the foyer of her family home, she knows. The darkness is still there. And it's been waiting for Maggie's return....

Great Story, Aweful Narration

Have been a fan of Ania Ahlborn for years & her haunting story lines are great so I give this an overall of 4 stars. The narrator was what killed the story. I hung on as long as I could, but after 2/3 through, I finally gave up on the audio & finished it up on Kindle. .

Great if you're in the 8th grade!

I usually really enjoy Ania Ahlborn and i have read the majority of her books. They are creepy and unsettling. Pretty much exactly what I'm looking for. However, I thought this book was terrible. Everything about it. It was impossible to get past the monotone narration. I kept listening thinking the book itself would redeem the narrator. It never did. She spoke in blocks of words. It was impossible for me to like the character, because of it. Having said that, the book was incredibly predictable and reminded me of something I would have read in the 8th grade that would have scared me. I feel awful writing such a bad review. Honestly though, don't waste your time or your credit on this one.
