What was your reaction to the Barbarians story and to Tunnel in the Sky? (thought you hated Heinlein)

P.s. I just read an old one by Frank Herbert about submarining that was really cool. From the 50s. Dragon in the Sea or some such...

I definitely recommend browsing through the list. Also:the Mask Noir list (which overlaps with Serpent's Tail) is worth looking at:

and the Pluto Press crime series too...

Is this familiar to anyone? [click on the image to enlarge] If not, to jog memories, it’s from this… Some of you may recall from the late 1980s a series of books issued by Pluto Press u…

I definitely recommend Julian Rathbone's detective stories- some set in modern Germany, such as 'Brandenburg Concerto' :

Thousands of small arms, mortars, and ammunition go missing when the Soviet army leaves its bases in East Germany. The eco-cops, led by the feisty and unruly Renate Fechter, are brought in to investigate. What they uncover is a network of links with South America and Eastern Europe that leads to an explosive finale. Once again Julian Rathbone has written a fast page-turner that cuts to the heart of international politics.

Brandenburg Concerto

http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Brandenburg_concerto.html?id=woMhAQAAIAAJ&redir_esc=y

Four trainloads of assorted ammunition have gone missing somewhere deep in the woods between Germany and Russia. There are plenty of folk willing to lend a hand with the search. There's Renata Fechter, the gutsy eco-cop who first appeared in Accidents Will Happen. And of course there are her old adversaries, the Sheen Associates, a bunch of English chancers still looking for the big score. There's a transvestite hard-man and some Berlin squatters. And then there are the serious bad guys... Brandenburg Concerto sees one of the great English thriller writers in full flow. As Eric Ambler evoked the chaos of central Europe in the thirties, so Julian Rathbone does it for the nineties.
