THE BIG BANG!

THE BIG BANG!


J. KINGSTON PIERCE OVER AT THE RAP SHEET INTERVIEWS THE EVER ARTICULATE MAX ALLAN COLLINS ABOUT HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LATE MICKEY SPILLANE AND THEIR CO-WRITTEN MANUSCRIPT THE BIG BANG – A NEW/OLD MIKE HAMMER TALE GATHERING CRITICAL AND FAN MOMENTUM EVERYWHERE . . .


. . . Spillane was right to tap Collins--author of the hard-boiled Nate Heller private eye series, as well as myriad other crime-fiction and movie tie-in works--as his post-grave promoter. Reviewing The Big Bang for the Web site Bookgasm, Bruce Grossman calls it “a fantastic read for longtime Hammer fans who have wanted to see their hero return to form. And wow, does he ever. This is the brutal, go-for-the-throat, bashing-in-heads and take-no-prisoners Hammer that we all know and love . . . Collins does a great job of capturing the Spillane speak and storytelling.”
