Without Remorse
I really like this book and have read it a couple of times now.
I think it very cleverly blends the Vietnam war with urban America with an interesting comparison between war in Vietnam and the war on drugs and how at times both seemed doomed to failure. for example, when removing 1 drug pusher from his corner or capturing a hill is only a success until the force is removed then that area is retaken and back to how it was before intervention…

Devel May Care
New book commissioned by Ian Fleming’s family written by Sebastian Faulks in Fleming’s style.
Very enjoyable read. It certainly felt like one of the series in terms of both the style, speed of motion through the book and levels of action and excitement.
You do have to smile at the choice of the ‘bad guys’. Yes Fleming did get into the habit of giving each of his villains a certain flair or ‘tick’. This book is no exception in that regard.
