Some time ago I decided to really take a look at what I had
in my shelves. The admirable purpose was to try to catch up
with unread books and revisit old friends that I hadn't
touched for years. I picked up a dozen or so books, a couple
by John Buchan (still very good), some Wade Miller that I had
never read (excellent,as expected)....and _The Anderson
Tapes_ by Sanders. I recalled a passable suspense movie of
the same name, and the blurbs looked enticing. Alas, the book
was indigestible and poorly written, though the central idea
was very good. Does anyone have a more favorable opinion of
this novel?
Disclaimer for the Captain: This novel is bad but does fall
within the hardboiled genre. No eggs, please.
