Consistently Entertaining I am pleased when a series continues to unfold rather than repeat the same formula again and again in a different way. Tex actually seems to nature a bit each time, and the plts are always entertaining.

I love all the series he writes. I have read the Tex Hunter and Bill Harvey series. Now on to the Jack Valentine series. All of his books keep me on edge and help me get through workouts when I am on the treadmill. Thanks, Betty

Loved it! As all others said, I’m waiting for #5. I “discovered” this series later I read the first one, so I was able to read 2-4 without a pause in action. Fantastic way to read a series.
