A nosy reporter, an uncooperative sheriff, a young librarian, a strange old Indian, the town gossip — will any of the remaining citizens of the town help Traynor to defend their world against superstition?

But is Traynor fighting against superstition — or against the supernatural?

Phantom Train by Alexander Butziger (2011, Paperback)

The times he smiles or otherwise moves one or two facial muscles can be counted on one hand. Ah, those were the days. Judging by their performance in Quantum of Solace , neither Craig nor Dench could act their way out of a wet paper bag with pre-perforated escape hatches.

Is the actor so inept? Or is he playing for laughs? Or all of the above?

In my book, acting means that you can believe the actors that they are who they play. Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace. Cartoonish mega-capitalists bent on world domination are nothing new to the Bond universe. Simply being a capitalist is enough. All that capitalists do is take control of resources or goods — of course by violent, fraudulent, or otherwise shady means — and double the price on consumers. Bond himself, Daniel Craig, channeling Ellsworth Toohey: For their own individual benefit as opposed to for the people. Even regarding killings and cruelty, the so-called heroes are nearly indistinguishable from the so-called villains.

That might be directly addressed to the audience. Yet where to turn? Sadly, Hollywood being liberal central, collectivist propaganda is par for the movie course.

To paraphrase another left-wing favorite, The Big Lebowski: And the people understand less than ever who their friends are. Government agents or capitalists? Alexander Butziger is the author of the Kevin Traynor series of capitalist mystery novels.
