Just picked up "John D MacDonald" by David Geherin. Although
it focuses on the McGees, it has a good 50 pages dedicated to
the standalones. I just ordered a copy of "A Flash of Green"
on the basis of it being one of JDM's
"most impressive and ambitious" novels (I seem to remember it
being recently touted on the list as well).
George, I know a lot of people rate "The Damned" as nothing
more than an imitation Hemmingway. I'm not one of those. I
think it's superb. Of those I've read on your list, they're
all extremely good, with the exception of
"One More Sunday", which is one of two JDM's I couldn't
finish.
