I liked them, but they were less "Men's Action" novels than they were kind of hybrid Bond/Le Carre spy novels with a heacy dose of Catholicism PACKAGED as "Men's Action" novels.

One of them NUPLEX RED was one of the first "nuclear terrorism" novels. ANother, THE MIDAS COFFIN, was a Edgar nominee in the PBO category (Smith's third such nomination, BTW).
