BOOK REVIEW: KILLING IS MY BUSINESS( LA TRILOGY) ADAM CHRISTOPHER


Killing is my Business (LA Trilogy)
Author: Adam Christopher
Publisher: Titan Books
Pages: 281
ISBN: 9781783296910
Reviewed by: Sandra Scholes


If you remember the previous novel, Made to Kill, the relationship between Ray Electromatic and Ada is purely platonic, and sometimes they don't see eye to eye on certain topics. And instead of this being part of a series in the normal sense, Killing is my Business acts as a stand-alone novel with Ray out on another assignment.

They do say that some things come full circle and this is what happens to Rita Repulsa when Lord Zedd, annoyed at her not getting rid of the Power Rangers decides to toss her in the dumpster she came in, and send her back into space; the saying that "if you want something doing well, do it yourself "has a special meaning here. Lord Zedd has his own army at his disposal he alone created to destroy his foes, hoping his might will be enough to crush them.

Like I watched Battle of the Planets (we didn't know it as Gatchaman back in the 80s) this was another staple of viewing in the UK after school or college with five intrepid kids turned superheroes getting into one scrape after another and wowing us from our much tinier screens. Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers begins after the third series of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and sees the three of them in a very tough situation.

SPY NOVEL REVIEW: THE RETALIATORS BY DONALD HAMILTON

The Retaliators
Author: Donald Hamilton
Publisher: Titan Books

 
When I got the press release with full details of the book and its contents, I didn't expect the James Bond style figure on the right. As Donald has already written 27 novels in the Matt Helm series, maybe this makes him some kind of Fleming, but if you look closer, Matt Helm is a different kind of secret agent and in this novel Matt has become that much richer thanks to twenty thousand dollars appearing in his bank account.
