A profession that has been written about and depicted in novels and movies for decades. Ash Lingam’s “Bounty Hunter Rancor Maleficent” is the first book in the Gunslinger Series, written in a style influenced by Sergio Leone and the spaghetti western films of the period. Rancor Maleficent is one of these men. Trading dollars for bodies as he hunts outlaws down for their reward. Assisted by Roberto, the duo of man-hunters travel the California Territories in the late 1800’s, taking the law into their own hands. Hunting down men of reckless blood for a living. Rancor, already a legend due to his violent nature, with his humor afflicted accomplice, Roberto Rodriguez, in their quest to trade flesh for cash. Like most bounty hunters, looking for an easy way to make a living even if it involves risking their lives in exchange. Or perhaps it is the very nature of the profession that attracts recklessly bold men. The two men are on the hunt for three ex-sheriffs, a four-fingered outlaw and an ex-Texas Ranger. Men who had strayed across the fine gray line between the law and the outlaw. Action, humor, and a good dose of lead makes this new series one of Lingams best.

    

     Yet Foreman is both unelected and unpopular. Some say he and his cronies are almost communist – Russian sympathisers, perhaps? Almost everybody around him believes him to be a repellent human being and fundamentally unfit for office. But can Foreman be stopped and should he be stopped? In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, few Americans have an appetite for conflict, but there is an exception: The Destruction Committee. Forged in the theatre of war, the Destruction Committee comprises top-grade soldiers, men who know how to kill quickly, efficiently, ruthlessly and without being caught. Operating well outside the law, the Destruction Committee nonetheless declares itself dedicated to the greater good and minimal damage. When it comes to those it deems a threat to society, however, The Destruction Committee kills without mercy. And The Destruction Committee believes that Carlyn Foreman is a threat. The Destruction Committee is a classic thriller that touches upon the nature of American politics, the psychological effects of war and death, and the allocation of political power.
