Thanks for the congratulations. I'd feel even better about my
MWA membership if it hadn't been 25 years since my last
published work in the field! (I've got a novel half-finished,
but with no deadline on it and lots of deadlines on other
projects, I have no idea when or if I'll finish the
novel.)
I've never read Trevanian. My interest in him, aside from
having seen the so-so movie of "The Eiger Sanction," stems
more from one of my best friends having been a student of his
at UT. His obit, though, makes him sound like quite a
fascinating man. Are his books, overall, worth jumping
into?
