Title: Better in the past
Product review: Some 30 years ago, Forbes was among the top thriller writers going. I highly recommend such titles from the 70's and 60's as TRAMP IN ARMOR or HEIGHTS OF ZERVOS. But in the past few decades he seems to have sadly gone downhill, particularly in this ongoing series with Tweed. The dialogue is unbelievable, the villains are cardboard, and the action seems to follow no rule of logic or deduction. What this reminds me of is such pulpish work as Sexton Blake or Doc Savage.
