Has anyone here ever read a two novel series from the mid-eighties called The Takers, by Jerry Ahern?
I love these novels, and wish that there had been more. However, I can't seem to find much information about the writers, why they stopped or who else out there liked them as much as I did.
These are the perfect modern day counterparts to Indiana Jones novels.
If you haven't read them, and are interested, you might find them at a used bookstore with all of the Executioner novels (same publisher Gold Eagle, which may be why the series didn't last.)
To the newcomer, a word of caution: These books are written for gun nuts, so get ready for lots of tech talk. Also, sometimes the action level is kept up by the insertion of extraneous plots (e.g. the Jamaican pirate who tries to kill our heroes--no direct bearing on the story, but still lots of fun.)
If anyone out there has an opinion on these novels, let me know.
