I hope he remembers the Klingon proverb, bortaS bIr jablu’DI’ reH QaQqu’ nay’. That excursus down memory lane means nothing to you, but I put it there in case that friend reads this post. I got over it (probably because I didn’t care about things like early editions then) and despite losing that copy, that friend later became my first college roommate, and I didn’t kill him in his sleep for it. A year or two later, I loaned it to a friend who proceeded to lose it. I did find, I now know, a copy with the original cover (as seen above). The Godwulf Manuscript wasn’t the first novel I read in the series, I’m going to guess I’d read three or four others before I found this in a used book store. I wouldn’t have been able to appreciate Spenser without having spent some time with Leroy Brown, Jupiter Jones/Peter Crenshaw/Bob Andrews, Tabitha-Ruth Wexler and others (as I’ve invoked Brown, I hope I remember to draw a line between Sally Kimball and Spenser’s version when I discuss Promised Land). I came to this series about thirteen (possibly fourteen) years late, but to be fair, I would have been thirteen (possibly fourteen) when I started reading it. On the other hand maybe it would be better to get the tear in my convertible roof fixed.
Grab a copy from your local indie bookstore!ĭriving back to Boston, I thought about my two retainers in the same week. Mystery/Detective Fiction/Crime Fiction/Thriller.
