Review: Abe/Frank/Redd I love them all
Rating: 5 out of 5

As this book's editor, I've read it maybe four or five times in various incarnations. I've grown very attached to it, to its characters, to the story. Abe/Frank/Redd has evolved so much since that first draft, since its first publications in bits and pieces, first as short stories, then as a serial that never quite got done.It's a fun romp in a refined British-style pulp with characters who are easy to like. Tony's ear for dialogue is terrific, offering an unrefined, rough around the edges feel to an antihero whom you can't decide whether to love or hate.Even before Tony chose me to edit this book for him, I had grown attached to his main character, so it is with the most basic honesty and zero guilt I not only recommend this read, but label it with five stars. It deserves every one of them.
