Smith is the finest author of them all when it comes to writing action scenes,

This review is from: Karma (Paperback)
When it comes to writing action scenes, Mitchell Smith is the finest author of them all.
He got his start writing the "Buckskin" series of westerns for Leisure Books in New York. He wrote the 10 or 11 books under the pen name Roy LeBeau. The novels follow the career of a real gunfighter named Buckskin Frank Leslie, but the novels are fictitious. I think Smith's always been capable of depicting scenes of violence. You'll see what I mean if you read the 3 scenes where there's gunplay in Colt Creek" Then read the scene in Karma where Evan fights the Pathan fighter who does the killing for the Rao Family. They're both equally brilliant. Does anyone know when Smith's next novel will come out? It's about a beautiful woman who is a circus performr. Someone - maybe her boyfriend -cuts off her nose to disfigure her. Bryce A. Suderow

Smith Continues To Write Great Novels,
By Robert Derenthal "bucherwurm" (California United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Karma (Paperback)
I have read all of Mitchell Smith's novels, and this one was a pleasure. I really love his unique writing style. Mitchell is an unusual writer, having written books about widely different subjects: Due North about a woman living in the wilds of Alaska; Stone City about life in a prison; and several thrillers. His characters are interesting, and his descriptions of scenes are excellent. Highly recommended

"Runnin' don't get it done".,
By Panzon (Planet Earth) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Karma (Paperback)
"Karma" Mitchell Smith:
A Manhattan architect (and ex-Force Recon Marine), Evan Scott sees a girl fall from a skyscraper while visiting an adjacent building....Their eyes meet, and Evan is locked into finding out why she fell, and why no one seems to want him to ask questions... Great action scenes, and actually a very thoughtful (though extremely brutal) book. Scott joins with an old Hindu newspaper dealer when they find out that an ancient crime family has marked them (and their entire families) for death...He breaks out the old .45, and the Bowie knife he inherited from his platoon Sergeant, and finds he still remembers how to kill other men when the need arises... This story also introduces one of the most interesting bad-guys in print: Sher Daula or "The Dond" as his masters refer to him, a Pathan tribesman from the mountains of Afghanistan who has "a taste for tradition" (cold steel) when comes to murder, and "is not fearing heights at all". My favorite action/suspense novel of all time.
