Exploitation Retrospect

Exploitation Retrospect is calling for contributions to a new section -- Assignment: Action! -- that will be in their Fall 2013 issue. 
Assignment: Action! will feature

reviews of men's adventure novels of the 70s/80s and beyond, action cinema, remembrances of memorable action series and characters and so on. If you dig Remo Williams, The Chameleon, The Penetrator, ABLE Team, The Executioner and their ilk we are definitely seeking contributions from you!

This is a chance for Destroyer fans to post remembrances of  the series, its authors and the various ghost writers, how you were turned on to the Destroyer,  hopes for the direction the series has taken, social issues raised, etc.  If they get enough, maybe it will turn into an all-Destroyer retrospective.

New Destroyer Article

CE Martin has written an article about The Destroyer for Amazing Stories online magazine, with an emphasis on the return of the series with new books, including the new novel The End of the World, the Legacy spin-off Forgotten Son and the two (so far) novellas: Number Two and Savage Song.

The first ten Destroyer novels have been reissued in paperback.

Warren Murphy's Site...

has been updated.  Go to warrenmurphy.com.  He has a new writing class page, where he will shortly begin posting "how to write a novel that doesn't suck" blogs.

And when my novella goes live in a few days, it will be posted there (and here, of course).  And also when Warren (and Jerry Welch's) Legacy is published and later the full-length novel.  Here of course also.

New Interview with Warren Murphy and Jim Mullaney

The Trades has followed up their review of The New Destroyer: Guardian Angel with an interview of the authors.

An excerpt:

The-Trades: We're starting with a renumbering of the books, so let's fill in the new readers: Who is Remo Williams -- or, more to the point, why is Remo Williams?

WARREN MURPHY: Dick Sapir and I decided we wanted to do an adventure series starring an American hero. But we were just getting our feet wet for the first time -- neither of us had tried a book before -- and, believe it or not, Remo started out as a guy named Bernie, who was a crime-fighting psychiatrist in New York City. It didn't take us long to figure out that that this was just el stinko, so we splashed around and finally decided to do blue collar and cop, and the pieces came together and it turned out to be Remo.

Check out The Trades for much more about the past and, more important, the future of The Destroyer.
