Interlude — 2 books I "borrowed" from the BPOE in St. Maries, ID

Come on, how was I *not* supposed to take these?:


Best things about this cover:

  • So ... it's about a vengeful virgin? Why not just call it that?
  • I'm not sure I'm convinced that Mr. FancyShirt QuaintPinky could make a door explode like that. Seriously, look at his "grip" on that gun. It's like he's drinking tea or something.


Best things about this back cover:
  • "Reifel" — from the Dept. of Unimaginative Naming


Best things about this cover:
  • When grilling Nick Carter, make sure his massive barrel chest is well basted.
  • "Just a second Nick, I'm almost at the next level of 'Missile Command'..."
  • That Nick Carter head/logo is the smuggest, douchebaggiest look achievable by a human face.

Best things about this back cover:
  • WHEN was it acceptable to break "assassination" between the first and second Ss???

from "Assassination Brigade":

He fired, and the bullet chipped off a piece of pavement about an inch away from me. By then, I had Wilhelmina in my own hand. The man only had the opportunity to snap off one more shot before I had steadied the barrel of my Luger and put a bullet in his belly.

In case you missed that — he named his Luger "Wilhelmina." God save me from ever finding out what that particular relationship is like.
