Paperback Warrior loves Jon Messman's VENDETTA CONTRACT! "This could be one of the best men's action-adventure paperbacks I've ever read. Messmann's high-octane style delivers a mesmerizing cat-and-mouse chase across the country... If you enjoy point-of-impact assassin-thrillers by the likes of Robert Ludlum and Stephen Hunter then 'Vendetta Contract' is an absolute must-read. The smooth calculated chase across America provides high-speed car chases, urban warfare, precise planning, and a emotional investment into the Ben Martin character that is nearly unmatched in terms of paperback heroes. This is the one to read."

When ROCK was first published in 1958, future Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Larry McMurtry wrote “this novel deserves a wider reading than it will likely get,” and he was right. Now this searing, hard-boiled classic is finally back in print.

“Wagoner makes an ambitious attempt to deal with the children of our present rock-and-roll generation and, in some respects, he is depressingly successful. The book is a testament of lovelessness, the compassionate record of a warping that has touched a whole generation. It is strong, serious writing about a serious subject.” —Larry McMurtry
