The list author says:
	"Tarantino right for once. A crime thriller about a gem heist gone bad and arguably the hardest, toughest prose ever written. Lean and mean. Bunker is the MAN."

The list author says:
	"Epic race-war in a prison. Willocks builds the tension and doesn't let up. Uncompromizing, violent and intelligent."

The list author says:
	"Callison is hugely under-rated. Fantastic war story that stays in the mind. Should be reprinted immediately!"

The list author says:
	"Cult french foreign legion novel about former SS in pre-Vietnam Indo-China. The commies get their desserts and much atrocity. A cult book for good reason.."

	"Utterly loony. Algerian War of Independence and the occupying French have a traitor to flush. Eyes hypoed, tongues cut out with scissors, torture galore."

The list author says:
	"A truly great fast paced novel of the Vietnam war by a guy who was there. Snake and the other characters are well-drawn people, not just stock characters."

The list author says:
	"As hard-boiled as you can get. A sex-sniper has to be tracked down and stopped. Burke is the man equipped to do it."

The list author says:
	"The Tattooed Man and his protege assassin, Jon, vie for the souls of his friends. Great compulsive writing and shadowy atmospheric underrated movie too."
