Book of the Week: Dead or Alive.

Yes, yes, Dead or Alive is a 850 page Tom Clancy novel, and it’d probably stand to be cut down about three hundred pages because nobody wants to tell Tom Clancy that he shouldn’t write 850 page novels. Including, apparently, me, because I’m going to read the blessed thing. I’m obviously weak that way.

And so ends the reign of The High King of Montival.

Cricket has rules? (Plus: Tom Clancy should do a zombie book)

Who knew?

Yes, I stole that from Patriot Games. And may I note in passing that if Tom Clancy is looking for something to spark the creative juices again, he could hardly do worse than combining the technothriller and zombie apocalypse genres?  Don’t tell me that people wouldn’t read that: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is still #34 on Amazon, and #6 on the NYT Paperback Trade Fiction list.  Clancy doing a zombie book would be instant money.
