Operation is a GO!By Boxer Dog Lover in Vermont...Matt Helm is sent to Mexico to to rescue Sarah, a fellow US agent. Sarah is working in a bar called The Chihuahua. She gets knifed and mutters something to her sister, Gail, as she is dying.Matt meets up with Gail shortly afterwards and tries to find out what Sarah told her. Gail is best described as a real character!Supposedly, there will be an underground test at a facility which must be stopped. Gail and Matt take off in a snowstorm to stop this test. Gail turns out to be a double crosser which adds to the plot.There is some great humor in this book. I would describe it as off the wall so it really fit the characters.Any chance that Matt and Gail will end up together?Highly recommended.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great seriesBy Steve KayeHamilton was a very good writer of action stories -- in Westerns, mysteries, and here in spy thrillers. These are spare, not like today's bloated, endlessly introspective doorstop-sized books. Matt Helm is not James Bond ... in fact there is some effort to "de-bunk" the Bond image of spies. Helm is the antithesis of the cool, suave, sharply dressed, perfectly quaffed, impeccably equipped spy. Good action, good characters, lots of fun. Read 'em all. The first 8 are being reprinted. The first four are available now, a fifth to be published in August, and then 3 more published into 2014. Hopefully, the publisher will do the rest of the hard to get series.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great! Wish for a good film version.By Michael R. BowkerMatt Helm in novels is nothing at all like the Dean Martin films of the 60s. Now, I do actually enjoy watching them, but other than a few character names they have nothing to do with the books. That being said, the reprints and Kindle books of Donald Hamilton's spy novels are a fantastic chance to revisit these great works.Matt Helm is not the typical spy. He is a cold blooded assassin. His missions usually involve killing someone just because they are the enemy. If he happens to save the country in the process, so be it but his primary mission is to kill the bad guy.The Helm books are dated in their references. Helm, at least at the start of the series, is a WW2 veteran who worked at his profession during the war. Later on in the series these references were dropped since he would have been a bit too old to still be an agent.With these books you have a fairly straightforward premise that can often go off in unexpected paths. People who you get to know can wind up dead or may seem to be one thing and turn out to be something else. You never quite know. It isn't Le Carre or Fleming but pure Hamilton.Helm can be quite brutal. As a fan of various authors of espionage I think he comes out as one of the toughest. It really is great to have these books out again. I have old paperback copies that I collected over the years but they have a habit of falling apart while reading them. Having them available electronically is great. Portable and a space saver.When I think of Donald Hamilton's Matt Helm I always remember how I started reading them after seeing the films and enjoyed them so much more because they were so well done. If you know Helm and want to catch up,with an old friend or if you are a fan of action packed spy fiction I suggest you grab these books but savor every bite. Helm is sent to extract a female agent working as a stripper in a bar in Mexico. When she is killed before Helm can complete his mission to extract her, he finds himself teamed up with the woman's sister as he fights to save the lives of a group of scientists and American officials. Perhaps the most famous of the titles, due to the Dean Martin film of the same name, but where the movies were tongue-in-cheek, the novels are breathtakingly brutal. ''Donald Hamilton has brought to the spy novel the authentic hard realism of Dashiell Hammett; and his stories are as compelling, and probably as close to the sordid truth of espionage, as any now being told.'' --New York Times ''Top- ranking American secret agent fare...Good writing, slick plotting, and stimulating characters, all tartly flavored with wit.'' --Book WeekAbout the AuthorDonald Hamilton is the creator of Matt Helm, star of 27 novels that have sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
