The International Series, a series about modern
high-rolling killers, continues with another story
about a Shaft/James Bond rip-off who must overcome
great odds while uttering numerous pop culture
cliches.
This book is intended to model its main character,
Jerome Usher, after James Bond — surrounded by
opulence and beautiful women, yet intelligent and
deadly. Of course, this copies not only the Bond for
mula, but also earlier International Series book. A\-
signment Hong Kong. These two books are basically
the same, with different names. Even the writing style
is the same, making it difficult to believe the two
books were written by different people. The line
“Jerome shot the windows out first, then smoked all
they asses,” could have come from either of them.
The plot is set in New York, where a hit man is try
ing to escape the rumor that he has lost his knack for
killing. Between the occasional murders, the book
drops more names than the most experienced groupie.
By Page 10 of this pocket-sized book, the main char
acter has already asserted his dominance over Puffy
(Combs) and been toasted by Guru. What this book
lacks in quality, it makes up for in pretentiousness.
The book is definitely not worth buying, but if
someone should happen to leave it in the bathroom, it
could entertain for 15 minutes. (Grade: D-)

This book was originally printed
in 1904, and that alone makes it
worth reading considering Ameri
ca's current dealings with China.
The author describes his experi
ences in China and the economic
and political forces that were re
shaping the country at the time. Chi
na in the early 20th century was
heavily in debt to Western powers
and trying to cope with numerous
economic, technological and politi
cal problems.
Brown's view is that China pos
sessed all the raw materials to be
come a world power, but its leader
ship was inept. He calls the Chinese
people and their leaders stubborn,
lazy and conniving. His views were
perhaps correct in some cases, but
today, his assertions wax racist. ■
The author is skilled in his ex
amination of China’s economic fu
ture, predicting a consumer econo
my like the Western nations. While
he did not predict the communist
revolution, his predictions prove ul
timately true as China continues to
open its economic door.
However, the book is too sim
plistic in its views on Chinese cul
ture and too quick to judge the Chi
nese people. This book is worth
reading for its historical value on a
subject largely unknown to Ameri
cans. It demonstrates an ethnocen-
tricity rarely seen in modern books.
The book is too shallow to make
more than an interesting historical
character study. (Grade: C)
