Mike Hammer, Book 18

By: Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins

Narrated by: Stacy Keach

When private investigator Mike Hammer accompanies a conservative politician to Moscow on a fact-finding mission, he is arrested and imprisoned by the KGB on a bogus charge. He quickly escapes, creating an international incident by getting into a firefight with Russian agents.

On his stateside return, the government is none too happy with Hammer. Russia is insisting upon his extradition, and various government agencies are following him. A question dogs our hero: Why him? Why does Russia want him back, and why was he singled out to accompany the senator to Russia in the first place?

The legendary Mike Hammer continues to thrill readers everywhere, even after the passing of his brilliant creator, Mickey Spillane.

Critic reviews

"[A] fast-paced thriller…and like all Mike Hammer tales, there’s plenty of two-fisted action along the journey." ( Pulp Fiction Reviews)

"Collins has Spillane down cold, from Hammer’s manic grin to his charged patter with the lovely Velda. And while there are hints the world is changing, Hammer hasn’t changed a bit. He’s still an unreconstructed, red-blooded American male who holds lily-livered bureaucrats in sneering contempt.… Entertaining." ( Booklist)

Great

Loved every second of this Cold War saga featuring the best of both authors and the great Stacy Keach!

the constant action.

this would have made an incredible pilot movie, or 1st season for Mike Hammer with Stacy Keach in his prime.

Captivating Story

This is an awesome Mike Hammer story by the great Mickey Spillane and co-author Max Allan Collins, much of the story takes place in and about the Soviet Union. Hammer accompanies a U.S. Senator to Moscow, where soon after he is arrested by the KGB on a humbug charge. He escapes his captors with plenty of action and lead flying everywhere. He returns to the U.S. and some in the intelligence community are not very happy with Mike, and the KGB wants them to extradite him back to Russia, but he is having none of that...Okay that's enough, no more spoiling, but get the book, you will like it...Stacy Keach the great actor, narrates this book flawlessly.

Super!

Another top notch Spillane \ Collins collaboration, perfectly read by Stacy Keach, this one part of the early chronology. Excellent!!!

Me of the BEST !

Complex story, great suspense. As someone who grew up during the Cold War with Russia- this hit home
