Too many to list...what really spins me out is I think these publishing house marketing pukes are sticking big selling author names on books written by ghost writers. I'd swear John Sandford hasn't written even one of his last 3 books...or, has undergone a profound personality shift. As a whole, industry wide, good manly fiction is becoming hard to find. Very few female authors appeal to me, the ladies have so little experience for the background needed for a rousing outdoor based adventure tale, they write schidt that is so patently false or improbable as to be unreadable.
We shall never see the likes of Patrick O'Brian again. The 60% lower sperm count reported in the news recently is well reflected in fiction writing.
