If you like Guy N Smith you'll love Linaker! KC I was rather impressed, I have to say. Need to find out what else, if anything, he has written. |

Other than the two Scorpion books he's only written one other book that could broadly fit under horror tag called A Touch Of Hell. It's pretty good about a village quarantined with a contagion. Other than that he has written under other names , westerns and pulp action books. He's a proper pulp action writer - search him out! Steve ( Walking Dead) who used to post here interviewed Mike.

Linaker wrote a lot of Executioner novels in the last years, both Executioner and the big Stony Man novels. He is sometimes on the George Gilman Forum at Pro Boards.

Picked up copies of Regam amd the Lebanese Shipment by Joe Balham (Futura 1977 with a copyright notice to Ian Kennedy Martin) and Confessions of a Milkman (Futura 1983, originally published 1976) for 50p each.

I've read the Regan book - I remember it being pretty damn good! I have a copy of the Milkman book if it's the one penned by Derren Nesbitt?

Hi KC...The Milkman book is credited to Timothy Lea on the cover and I think all of the Leas were written by Christopher Wood. I have a reprint from 1983. I'm looking forward to reading the Regan book. It's Joe Balham on the cover, but Ian Kennedy Martin is credited inside. BTW I've seen a Sweeney book again credited to Joe Balham on the cover titled The Blag. I was wondering if that was perhaps a novelisation of the Sweeney 2 film?

I'm thinking of a book called The Amorous Milkman by Nesbitt. He directed the film in 1973. So that's that solved! I've actually never read a Confessions book though I have a few. Regarding the Regan book , I can't help you further on others though , I'm pretty sure I've some Sweeney books in a box around here.
