This was the first book I read by this author. Written in the 1970s, it describes an alternate history of the US where scientific experimentation has created a species of half-man/ half-lion creatures. Most of the story centers around the fate of one of these "leo's." The alternate US is described very well, and a good story is contained therein.

This is a novelization of the original King Kong screenplay from the 1930s. I decided to read it for two reasons: I wanted to revisit the King Kong story line without watching the movie and I was curious as to the literary level of a novelization from 70 years ago.
Book was actually written cohesively, with a little more attention paid to characterization than the movie tie-ins today. It was a quick, entertaining read.

This World War II thriller started with a bang and kept a strong pace throughout. The story is set in a prison camp located in Italy for Allied officers. An American colonel is detained in the camp and proceeds to shake up the established order and lead a drive for escape.
