Eh, I was never charmed by his driving fast in a Porsche routine. And he's not hungry enough, as a wealthy software weenie. He's a smart man and he does shoot straight. Despite being a gun-guy I always got the feeling he holds his tea with a pinkie in the air.

Maybe, but he could probably kill us both with that pinkie.

Parker's Hawk, though his Spenser is a close second. I like a tough guy who's not afraid to walk his own walk come whatever and who can be unashamedly pro women and tender. I think a hero can be both, hard and soft, and should be. Points for writing heros with some real intelligence besides. Brains are as sexy as brawn.

I finished book 4 in Andrew Vachss Burke Series last night. Burke and Max are pretty rough overall. Hard to tell the good guys from the bad and fairly well developed characters keep dropping like flies.

Still the writing and storyline/plot are enough to keep me fascinated.

When I was growing up, Tarzan was the baddest-ass of them all to the villains. Those who applied the law of the jungle to others got it back in spades. Probably the wrong genre, though.

Mr. Crane, from Neal Asher's "Gridlinked" universe. You cross him, and he'll find a way to punch through the hull of your warp speed spacecraft to get at you and rip you apart.

Takeshi Kovacs is a close second. Just "stick his stack in a new sleeve", and he's ready to commit mayhem, where mayhem is needed.

Burke and Max have rigid ethics and a code of conduct. They are criminals yet we can admire them for their adherence to their own morality (which is certainly not the "easy way"). Besides, they MOSTLY rip off bad people, lol. I want Burke's dog.

Yes the brother thing has gotten old already. An uncomfortable cultish feel about it.

Still I am on to book 5 and I rarely read two series books back to back.

How about silliest "hard" names ? My nominations are, in literature, anyone called Dirk, and in film, well, the "real" name of the "actor" Van Diesel takes a lot of beating, surely...........
