Book Description
Rough justice has often been served in the pages of serial novels, notably beginning with Don Pendleton's The Executioner in 1969. This is the first overview of the serial vigilante genre, which featured such hard-boiled protagonists as Nick Carter, Mark Stone, Jake Brand and Able Team among the 130 series that followed Pendleton's novel. Serial vigilantes repeatedly take the law into their own hands, establishing and imposing their own moral standards, usually by force. The book examines the connections between the serial vigilante and the pulp hero that preceded him and how the serial vigilante has influenced a variety of tough guys, private eyes, spies and cops in different media. A complete bibliography for each series is featured.

Book Description
In a world of shifting alliances, the United States must contend not only with its enemies, but with the constraints set by international politics. But in the fight against terror, there are Americans who will never stop hunting their prey . . . In an effort to bring order and balance to the world, the United States has entered an agreement with the international community under which no nation can act militarily outside its borders without a formal authorization from the United Nations. Unfortunately, only nations have subscribed to this noble idea. When a plane is hijacked and flown into a Denver skyscraper, the United Nations refuses to sanction reprisals unless the United States can supply an impossible amount of proof. With his hands tied, the president takes a page from FDR's playbook, when the independent Flying Tigers battled Japan while America officially stayed uninvolved. He taps General Buck Peighton to create a strike force made up of loners, cowboys, and misfits who were too antisocial even for the special forces.

Book Description
A must-read title for all fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Trudi Canavan, Fire will have you hooked on its gripping action, political intrigue, and beautiful central relationship. 'The book is REALLY good. Reading it made me very, very happy!' Tamora Pierce Set in a world of stunningly beautiful, exceptionally dangerous monsters, Fire is one of the most dangerous monsters of all - a human one. Marked out by her vivid red hair, she's more than attractive. Fire is mesmerising. But with this extraordinary beauty comes influence and power. People who are susceptible to her appeal will do anything for her attention, and for her affection. They will turn away from their families, their work, and their duties for her. They will forget their responsibilities to please her ... and worse, crush nations, neglect kingdoms and abuse their power. Aware of her power, and afraid of it, Fire lives in a corner of the world away from people, and away from temptation. Until the day comes when she is needed - a day when, for her king, she has to take a stand not only against his enemies, but also against herself ... Readers can't get enough of Fire: 'I was BLOWN AWAY! I fell in love with the world with the monsters and politics, the characters, the romance . . . Fantastic. Itching for a re-read already' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'The writing is beautiful, and Fire herself is at the same time so damaged and SO strong, that I fell completely head over heels. Finishing this book was heart-breaking' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'I found Fire's world to be well drawn, expertly woven and colourfully written. Each character is a delicious shade of gray, possessing both light and dark tendencies' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'If you asked me to recommend ONE book, or save ONE book from a fire, or keep ONE book of mine forever, it would be this one' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'Just as Graceling drew fans of Tamora Pierce and her strong female characters, Fire will definitely do the same' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'This was the most gorgeous romantic fantasy I've read in a while. And want to know what the last one was? - Graceling!! Kristin Cashore is just so good at writing these beautiful, deep relationships that stem from trust and acceptance' Goodreads reviewer, ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ 'If you had to read only one hard fantasy YA book this year, FIRE just might be the one.
