Lee, I feel the same way when I look at those Mike Shayne stories I wrote more than thirty years ago. It's almost like someone else wrote them. I used to read interviews with pulp writers where they made similar comments and could never understand how somebody would feel that way about their stories. Now I know what they meant.

Written back in the '80s heyday of the men's action-adventure craze, this story has everything carnage connoisseurs covet: But what makes this rise above many of its contemporaries is the quality of the prose.
Let's face it, as much as we all devoured the Executioners and Penetrators and Who doesn't love a good, pulpy, "justice from the barrel of a gun" vigilante story? Let's face it, as much as we all devoured the Executioners and Penetrators and Destroyers and Butchers and the myriad other "-ers" that riddled truck stop book racks back in the day, the writing often left something to be desired. That's why the skill Lee Goldberg--a college student at the time no less--brought to the game feels like a breath of fresh air: Granted, aside from the above-par writing, there is nothing original here, but if you're reading a book about a.
You've got the good guy blowing out the bad guys' brains while making quips and getting laid. And that sentence right there is all you need to know to judge whether or not you'll like this book. It might not be literary gold, but it's definitely a crown jewel of the action genre. May 25, Carl rated it it was amazing.

Revenge is a dish best served cold but Macklin junior plates it up piping hot, enough to burn those Who get too close. Revenge is nothing new in stories but these stories remind me of the old Mack Bolan vigilante novels. Retro machismo of the kind I used to read years ago. Jun 22, S. Wilson rated it really liked it. This series interests me greatly. To give my reaction to this first entry into the. My review then http: Lewis Perdue agreed with my assessment "It was This series interests me greatly. Now to the present, where the original three volumes of.
While I have no information as to why Perdue's name is not connected, my assumption is that rights were reverted to or purchased by Goldberg or he's a silent partner, who knows , who is now cranking out books left and right. Be sure to check out his Amazon page or website for the latest. So, the reason for this backstory just to review. Because there is a serious shift in tone from the first book to the second that I was not aware of when reviewing the second novel yet another reason not to jump into a series mid-stream. Gone are the cheesy puns and inventive criminal take-downs; this is kill-or-be-killed action-adventure vigilante pulp adventure fiction through and through.
Not that there aren't the typical Men's Adventure genre cliches involved that might be taken less than seriously. Oddly enough, this doesn't make either of them less enjoyable, just enjoyable in different ways that both work well in such a pseudo-serious genre.
If you can't enjoy the absurdity of it all, you don't deserve justice! Apr 01, Tere Fredericks rated it it was amazing. Shaw, one of the the characters in this book, is the type of police officer almost everyone believes a cop to be including myself. There is a beat cop walking in some of the worst places in his city.
He is gruesomely murdered. The killers are freed on a technicality. Brett Macklin, son of the murdered cop, is generally a nice guy. When the justice system failed him, as so many want to do but don't, he went looking for his father's murderers. He doesn't give them tea and cookies when he tracks down each of them. Goldberg's use of descriptive words is second to none.
The Jury Series by Lee Goldberg
You feel yourself going up a staircase with Macklin. You feel the sweat trickling down between your shoulder blades. You smell the smell of neglect. There is much more action and breath holding towards the end of the book than even I could take. I found myself taking deep, cleansing breaths to continue. This is whatever category Amazon has placed it in at its finest.
I am truly looking forward to the next book. Apr 15, Nancy Silk rated it it was amazing. In California, Brett Macklin also known as Mr.

Jury was a collector of classic cars and also appreciated beautiful women. He also becomes a vigilante destined to wipe out the killers who have turned Los Angeles into a war zone. This is a fast moving story with many surprises. It also has some extreme violence, but it's a great start for the series! This is one of the most action packed stories I've read this year.
Jul 04, Katie Turnak rated it liked it. Retribution and Revenge I love a good retribution story, however, because this story is older I kept going where are the cellphones recording crime, why aren't they DNA testing blood, what's up with all of the Tab references. I can see this being a really good movie, but the story was hard for me to getting hooked on.
Jul 13, Jim rated it really liked it.
Vigilante story that reads like a superhero origin tale - the birth of Mr. There's even a possible sidekick! In spite of all the killing and violence, Goldberg's style keeps it pretty light and entertaining. Bring on Volume 2! Aug 07, Jan rated it liked it Shelves: A short cop novel from the author of the "Monk" books.
This is one of a series of 4. Rather brutal, but a quirky plot. I'll try the next one. Mar 25, Aahamsing41 rated it it was amazing. Ilk read more by this author!
