The Beasts of Valhalla (Paperback)

from nx74defiant

A mystery with Sci-fi themes - a mad scientist, gene splicing the end of the world, etc. The hero Mongo is a former circus acrobat, karate black belt, detective dwarf. The cover is very cool - has nothing to do with the book really

This is one of the very few books that I have ever purchased based solely on its cover. I had never heard of the author and had my doubts about buying a book about an "ex-circus performer turned hard-nosed New York private eye- with a Ph.D. in criminolgy and a black belt to boot", who also happen...

Took longer to get into and through than the first few Mongo stories, but the last 150 pages run you down like a freight train.

I can see the flaws in this a lot more clearly than when I read it as a teenager (including some bad biology - ick!), but I still ate it up with a spoon.
