Bruce Gordon looked at his ticket, grimaced at the ONE WAY stamped on it, then tore it into bits and let the pieces scatter over the floor. He counted them as they fell; thirty pieces in all, one for each year of his life. Little ones for the two years he'd wasted as a cop. Shreds for the four years as a kid in the ring before that--he'd never made the top. Bigger bits for two years also wasted in trying his hand at professional gambling; and the six final pieces that spelled his rise from special reporter helping out with a police shake-up coverage, through a regular leg-man turning up rackets, and on up like a meteor until....

a good story

smultchsy tough guys from mars.

Nice plot, lots of twists and turns, not much technobabble. Reader is OK even though a little flat. I highly recommend this.

The reader's voice grew on me. I appreciate his calm reading of what is a very violent story.

Good story of which I really enjoyed. The narrator was good and read well but unfortunately read without much feeling.

The narrator's voice was a bit mild, or maybe lacking energy. But all in all it was well read.
