No me ha gustado este libro tan mentado. Sasturain es un personaje, y a veces se lo ve actuando en fotonovelas para revistas literarias coloridas. Le entr? con mucha expectativa, pero pronto me cans?. Tal vez el esfuerzo de mantener el libro abierto (la encuadernaci?n de Sudamericana no tiene parang?n), o lo simpl?n de la trama. Tal vez la hilaridad que despierta leer las proezas f?sicas de un jubilado municipal, o ese esfuerzo por hacer de la historia algo cotidiano. Si bien hay algunos hallazgos en la escritura, no llegu? a leer la segunda historia. ...

Before this, there's a lengthy opening story concerning the events leading up to the accidental death of O'Neil's parents, Arthur and Miriam; another story on how O'Neil and his older sister, Kay, cope with the aftermath; and a third about the abortion Mary has at the age of 22. ...

It’s a jungle out there. Literally. At least for Evan Tanner, eternally sleepless sometime superspy, who finds himself in Africa on the trail of the AWOL ruler of tiny Modonoland. It seems the petty despot’s gone missing, and he’s taken the state treasury along with him. No stranger to impossible missions and international peril, Tanner’s been in over his head before. This time, however, he’s in imminent danger of being buried alive. And it all has to do with the CIA, white supremacists, moderate revolutionaries… and a blond jungle bombshell named (no joke!) Sheena. Tanner’s always been a sucker for a pretty face and a curvaceous body, especially one that’s wrapped in leopard skin. But this red hot renegade daughter of a local missionary is a man-eater. Which means this time Tanner’s goose is well and truly cooked.
