Review: Macho Noir!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I was a 99lb. weakling until I read "Come Here and I'll Show You". Now I top out at at 210 of solid muscle, 5 o'clock shadow that won't go away, and more chest hair than Magnum PI.Seriously though, if you are into fun, pulpy, manly books that combine the noir and mercenary genres, then you could do a lot worse than CHaISY. Derek Lantin has a knack for writing situations and characters that keep you reading and the protagonist's adventures in the Southeast Asia during the Cold War actually seem plausible while you are reading. It's not a perfect story by any means, but it is solid escapist entertainment and Edwards has earned a spot in my macho pantheon next to Stallone and Norris.
