Okay. Full disclosure here. I picked this collection up a while ago for 99 cents with a diabolical purpose in mind. I wanted to read Mark Dawson's JOHN MILTON SERIES in hopes of picking up some tips on how to sell a billion freaking e-books.Or maybe he is up to two billion by now.In any case, as any real writer will tell you, a writer needs to read and write. So I figured, all kidding aside, that I ought to read one or two of these books, just to see how he did it.For starters, it was a genre that I enjoy reading. I like me a good thriller. I'm an old school fan of Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan series, James Bond in books AND James Bond movies, the television series The Equalizer, and Lee Child's Jack Reacher series (in spite of the just way too un-tall rendition by little Tom Cruise - a fellow who is a heck of an actor and has made enough dollars over the years to buy and sell the Cadbury Caramilk secret about a half a billion times or so).So I figured I would enjoy this series well enough - and I might even pick up some diabolical writing secrets - the same I figured that sleeping on my homework on night was going to get it done by magical elves while I dreamed of endless bottles of root beer and cheeseburgers).The first book started out unluckily.The prose had a British accent.Now, there is nothing wrong with UK authors. I read a lot of them in my younger years and I actually enjoyed them. But, shortly after dropping out and/or failing to complete university at least two or three times over the years, I fell back into simpler ways and came to prefer the gritty hardboiled stylings of certain American tough guy authors. Give me Robert Parker or Stephen Hunter on their good days and I am a happy man.But a fellow has to read a lot of books to call himself a reader - so I gave John Milton a try, but when I realized it was British fiction I was a little wary.(On a side note - how many of you folks have noticed that a lot of the younger types these days believe that the word "wary" is spelled "weary". I work in an office with many official note-takers and I have come to realize that a lot of the early millennial-types really don't know how to spell anymore. That doesn't have a thing to do with this review. I'm on horse-pill pneumonia-killing antibiotics today and I am going to indulge in the occasional wandering aside.)Son of a gun, though, that first story THE CLEANER, drew me right in. John Milton is kind of like James Bond gone sour. I'm not talking Roger Moore James Bond, you understand. I'm talking more along the lines of Sean Connery or Daniel Craig - if he can ever find a decent scriptwriter to pen something more along the lines of GOLDFINGER with testosterone.I liked Mark Dawson's Milton character. I liked that he was little world-weary and suffered a bit from PTSD and was attending AA meetings like Lawrence Block's wonderful Matthew Scudder novels. I was a little less than enthralled at first with his gangster characters all having slangy limehouse accents but I kept wanting to throw them into Boston or Chicago or New York City - but that is just my literary bias coming out again. They were still solid villains and made good foils to the hero's dusty gray code of honor.I did feel that the action level could have been cranked up just a little bit.Remember, I am seriously old school and I want to see a big shoot-out showdown at the end of a novel, usually lasting for about the last one quarter's worth of a prose novel. Sure, there can a little bit of kissing but I want to see some gunplay, darn it.Still, when I hit THE END, I hastily flipped over to the next page, eager to get started reading Book Two of the John Milton Series.That would be SAINT DEATH.Cool freaking title, Mr. Dawson.It kind of put me in mind of Garth Ennis's SAINT OF KILLERS from his world-famous PREACHER series of graphic novels - and if you haven't read them yet you really don't know what you are missing!Yeah, I use one too many exclamation marks sometimes - but them antibiotics are messing with my grammatical sensibilities right now.SAINT DEATH put right into the mood to go and watch BREAKING BAD for the sixteenth thousandth time, what with its marvelous depiction of the Mexican Cartels.(Hey, speaking of Mexico, I've been watching THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN today. I'm getting a little dizzy from all of this typing so I am going back to my easy chair to watch THE RETURN OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN right now.)Okay, so I'm back.Let us deal in some more lead here, friends.I enjoyed this second book even more so. I like reading the journey of this sort of James Bond turned Quixote character. He carries a bit of that world weary gravitas that I always enjoy reading about and pretending that I sometimes possess. I liked that the protagonist was a fry cook on the side. I enjoyed the secondary character of the old cowboy bounty hunter Beau Baxter.There was a bit more shoot-em-up action in this second book and that pleased me as well. I don't necessarily need to read a bloodbath scenario, but I appreciate the reek of testosterone and gunpowder drifting through the pages of a thriller.So, when I hit Book 3 - THE DRIVER I was well and truly hooked.So for this third book Milton is making a few side bucks as a sort of a combination Uber driver meets Gypsy Cab, which worked for me. I have worked a lot of different jobs in my lifetime and I appreciate that Milton is a bit of a workhorse - just so long as he can find a below-the-radar job to pay the bills. He stumbles into a kind of gated community serial killer meets Manchurian Candidate kind of plot that Mark Dawson handled well. I also appreciated that the serial-killer meets who-dunnit Mcguffin didn't slip into the Hannibal Lector arena. The carefully woven sub-plot of political intrigue worked as well. I was glad to see bounty hunter Beau Baxter back in the saddle for this book as well. I wonder if the Cartel is going to resurface down the road.Throughout the first three novels, John Milton's first employer (basically the same folks that James Bond worked for), are frantically trying to clean up loose ends by putting John Milton under a couple of yards of English dirt. I hope that Milton gets the chance to settle up this back business once and for all - but it is definitely long arc material and won't happen too soon.The bonus novella, 1000 YARDS, started a little rockily with a lot of military-style bulletins that were, I suppose, intensely atmospheric, but mostly I flipped over them. That is a problem with having an impatient reader but it also felt a little like padding. I wanted to get on with John Milton - but he did not disappoint me when he did turn up.I'd recommend this series for any thriller fans or Daniel Craig James Bond fans or all of those Jack Reacher fans out of there who are tired of waiting for Lee Child to bang out his next big novel. Fortunately, there are over a dozen or so John Milton novels and I bet they are all just as good. I intend to get around to reading them all, one of these days.Now let me go back to healing up, would you. I'm a tired old man spending most of my days split between a day job, my reading and my way-too-slow writing career.Yours in Storytelling,Steve Vernon So Milton spent 10 years killing people, mostly people who deserved to be killed, without any remorse at all, then he kills two more and then a third one who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and suddenly he is totally remorseful about all of the people he has killed, becomes an alcoholic and goes on the run from the evil “control” who wants him dead because he is running around possibly telling people what he has done (which he isn’t), but he tries to make up for what he has done by helping any damsel in distress, and in the process he winds up killing a lot more people, but of course these are people who absolutely, definitely, without any question deserve to be killed and he therefore feels no remorse at all, while still continuing to feel great pangs of remorse for the people he has killed in the past. Seriously? Dawson more or less patterns this after Lee Child’s Reacher, but without Child’s immense talent as a writer. Milton spares no opportunity to indicate how tough and dangerous he is and how they really don’t want to find out (which Reacher would never stoop to do) and then he gets into all sorts of predicaments that should be fatal but you know they will not be because there twenty more books in the Milton series, so he pulls a rabbit out of a hat and escapes death at the most hopeless moment. I think I’ll pass on the next twenty. Thanks anyway.
