Title: Do the math
Product review: I grew up on Mike Hammer. I can still hear some of the dialogue, written in the fifties, echoing through the halls of memory. Mike Hammer, his friend Pat Chambers and the drop-dead gorgeous Velda were all products of the second world war era. To have them bridging the gap between the forties and the nineties as if the two time periods were contemporaneous is a jarring experience. No amount of suspension of disbelief will allow for that. It's as if Spillane took the cash advance and phoned in the manuscript. My gut feeling is that he merely dusted off an old plot line from some unpublished work prior work, updated the technology and sent it in as a new story. I nearly choked when Hammer and Velda discussed the possibility of starting a family. Viagra can only do so much.
