   Nenhum(a) Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   ) DWLDE | Jun 10, 2023 |  “They can take my badge, but not who I am.” “…I love you Rod, and I want you alive.” “That’s what I want, too, honey. But first I’ve got to kill some people.” And he does! Rod is the main character of the first story and he’s up against the Shark and the Syndicate and, well, pretty much all of the power brokers in the town of Gantsville. It’s a short story, full of action and a nice twist to wrap it up. “The Last Stand” finds Joe Gillian in the desert after his plane stopped working and he had to make an emergency landing. Runs into a Native American fella named Pete, who has a horse. “They were a strange trio, two men and a horse.” They gotta survive the desert and then keep a strange arrowhead from falling into the hands of the FBI. It's a good story but gets a little "out there" with the power source thing that the FBI is after. Definitely not a crime/detective story! (  ) Stahl-Ricco | Sep 6, 2022 |  ) Paul_S | Dec 23, 2020 | "The Last Stand" is set on an Indian reservation upon which our hero almost crash-lands his antique airplane on. Luckily for him, the Indian he stumbles upon in the middle of the desert is almost as lost as he is, and the two men have to pair up in order to survive their march back to the reservation. It doesn't hurt, too, that the Indian (who now considers our hero a true blood brother) has a sister, the most beautiful thing that any man has ever seen. This is a fun look at what can happen when cultures clash and people begin to trust one another. "A Bullet for Satisfaction" is pretty straightforward and not nearly so much fun, but Spillane fans are likely to enjoy it very much. It's a look at a type of writing from the fifties and sixties that preceded and helped shaped much of what is being written today in the form of police procedurals and detective fiction.

When legendary mystery writer Mickey Spillane died in 2006, he left behind the manuscript of one last novel he'd just completed: THE LAST STAND. He asked his friend and colleague (and fellow Mystery Writers of America Grand Master) Max Allan Collins to take responsibility for finding the right time and place to publish this final book. Now, on the hundredth anniversary of Spillane's birth, his millions of fans will at last get to read THE LAST STAND, together with a second never-before-published work, this one from early in Spillane's career: the feverish crime novella A BULLET FOR SATISFACTION. A tarnished former cop goes on a crusade to find a politician's killer and avoid the .45-caliber slug with his name on it. A pilot forced to make an emergency landing in the desert finds himself at the center of a struggle between FBI agents, unsavory fortune hunters, and members of the local Indian tribe to control a mysterious find that could mean wealth and power - or death. Two substantial new works filled with Spillane's muscular prose and the gorgeous women and two-fisted action the author was famous for, topped off by an introduction from Max Allan Collins describing the history of these lost manuscripts and his long relationship with the writer who was his mentor, his hero, and for much of the last century the bestselling author in the world.
