Many years ago I wrote a rather sardonic espionage thriller, The Hungarian Game, that became a minor best-seller. Somewhere around 500,000 copies were peddled in a number of languages worldwide, and it earned some favorable reviews as well. (And a few brickbats - but let's not touch that one, okay?)
I didn't write a sequel because I felt I'd said all I had to say on the subject.
A few years ago, however, the political situation and the systematic corruption and dismemberment of America's intell community in the runup to war made me realize I did have more to say on the subject. And so I returned to my trusty Underwood, adding a few more wry comments by way of a rousing adventure yarn, The Last Days of Las Vegas, the opening chapters of which can be instantly seen here.
On the off chance you'd like to read a 500-page thriller, I've finally mounted the the entire novel here at the website. (You'll need Adobe Reader to view it.) Click here to read it.

The Last Days of Las Vegas is now published and available for sale

Now that I've finished Last Days, I'm writing a tale about bigotry and greed, Big Gap, set in a remote corner of a western state. The first chapter is available for you to see, but others are still in the wrestling stage. (Hemingway famously stated, "First chapters are s**t." He was right.)
