But then I'm going by just one book that I managed to get my hands on a while back: SHADOW OF A BROKEN MAN. Just couldn't get into it.<br /><br />Having said that, I'm intrigued by the idea of the television series.

Many thanks.<br /><br />I've read a few but far from all the Mongo books, and you've reminded me that I have an unread copy of one the late-in-series ones.

I wouldn't say it's dated but obviously the story has lost much of its power in not having immediate relevance.
