Better than Bond

James Munro is a combination of Ian Fleming and Robert Ludlum. I read this book many years ago and I still remember its opening pages. The book opens with a catastropic event that forces a reluctant man to face incredible challenges.The book is action packed with a lot of surprises. Great suspense as well. I believe that The Man Who Sold Death compares favorably with Trevanian's Eiger Sanction and Loo Sanction written at approximately the same time.This book was the first book in a very realistic espionage series. Since James Munro was one of the Best writer's of this genre from this era it would be a shame for his works to slip into obscurity.Although I liked the early Ian Fleming James Bond Novels I thought James Munro's espionage series was even better. These books are true classics of the 1970's
