Going, Going, Gone

"What Womack has done here is something special. He has fashioned an homage, a pastiche, a parody that far transcends its original model. Starting with the sub-James-Bond genre of swinging superstud spies a la Donald Hamilton's Matt Helm and Michael Avallone's Ed Noon, Womack builds a credible, touching and alluring alternate history limned not by expository lumps but by scattered remarks and observations from the first-person narrator. From cliches and surface banalities arises a real work of art. And the voice Womack has fashioned for Walter Bullitt (note the Steve McQueen reference) is the main attraction of the whole project."Womack, Jack is the author of 'Going, Going, Gone' with ISBN 9780802138668 and ISBN 0802138667.
