I've only read the first three in the series and already they seem pretty samey. I think my tastes in pulpy adventure novels run towards sexier and more lurid fare (The Baroness series, credited to Paul Kenyon, is my current fave and I can't wait to start in on James Lawrence's Dark Angel quartet). <BR/><BR/>I agree that snappy action sequences are Pendleton's primary strength as a writer, but I just wish there was something more to differentiate his plots and writing style. I'm not surprised to hear that Pendleton's sense of humor fall flat, as rarely as he employs it. He's pretty piss-poor with female characters too, though reading Pendleton's frequent and lengthy fetishizations of Bolan's choice of firearms probably provides some unsurprising insight into the author's sexual impulses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
