Overview: US writer, formerly known for numerous men's action-adventure tales, who began publishing sf with The Grotto of the Formigans (1980), a novel about African grotto Monsters, and who came to more general notice with his Ayes of Texas sequence: The Ayes of Texas (1982), Texas on the Rocks (1986) and Texas Triumphant (1987). The political premises underlying the series – in the late 1990s the USSR, having hoodwinked the supinely liberal US media, has come to dominate the world – have dated, though the American assumption that its media are liberal is still conventional wisdom; the exuberance of the tales themselves remains winning. The protagonist, a triple-amputee World War Two veteran from the newly free Republic of Texas, arms an old battleship (itself called Texas), and sails off to fight the Russians. Much blood is spilt, and a good time is had by all; by the close of the third volume, however, a genuinely sophisticated dubiousness about the nature of the USSR/USA Cold War conflict complicates what might have seemed an unduly simplified picture: the sequence merits revisiting. F-Cubed (1989) is a less entrancing Technothriller; but Mixed Doubles (1989) enjoyably depicts the attempts of a contemporary failed composer who travels back in time to steal Music from those more talented than himself.
Genre: Science Fiction
F-Cubed
For 10 yrs. U.S. and Soviet Mutual Inspection Teams roamed one another's countries searching for breaches of the Arms Agreements. They never found one. Then American Intelligence learned that the Soviets were ready to launch a deadly chemical weapon against the U.S., and Admiral Ricardo Handy had to locate it--and neutralize it. He sent in his best agents, and when they failed, he had no choice but to play his hole card: Keefe McCann, a con man in jail for life. Springing McCann from prison and sending him to Moscow was easy. And convincing the Soviet scientists to part w/the information should be no problem for an expert con man. But staying ahead of the KGB & getting the information back to Handy would be the trick iest con McCann had ever pulled.& the survival of the U.S. depended on it!
Mixed Doubles
Unfinished Symphony! In the late 1990's California, Justin Pope had all the virtures needed for success: ambition, self-confidence, and not a little greed. All he lacked was talent, and that was never a problem-he just stole the compositions of the long-dead "near-greats" of music. Then he accquired a time machine, and the vaults of all the ages were open to him. Already an accomplished thief, Pope thought his future looked good. He didn't know the machine attracted its own legacy of hate..and held the only future of Humanity.
