I love Konrath and am working my way through his books -- and now I am adding Schreck to my favorite author list.

This collection of short stories are entertaining and remind me of Chinese food -- fills you up for now, but you end up hungry again in a few hours to read more by these talented authors. Both Daniels and Dombrowski are tough and flawed, but with hearts that do care to make their world right. The cast of characters around them are fun and seem to remind me of people I know.

The only complaint I have is regarding the formatting -- I wish this book had an active TOC; one I could click forward to the next story vs having to page forward (or back). I had previously read several of the short stories in another collection and wished there was an easy way to skip over them.

Highly recommend! :)

If you know these authors, then you know what your getting into. If you don't know them, well go ahead and give them a try. You'll be hooked. Its just a fun book to read. Both the authors are very solid in their profession and you will be happy. Its a quick read with great characters from different story lines.

To quote George Costanza, "Worlds are colliding!"
To quote Groucho Marx, "...and what a collision!"

Schreck's 'Fearsome Foursome' is in the rarest of forms, the humor throughout is in the vein of previous works and better than ever ...and the action is fast, welcomed and exciting thanks to the switch between Jack's and Duffy's points-of-view from scene to scene.
A great effort and a joy to peek into what must have been a joyful process of collaboration.

I like JA Konrath's Jack Daniels book and was looking forward to this colaboration with Tom Schreck and this book was OK but, Way to short. It was like a teaser chapter.

Very disappointed, in not getting my moneys worth.
