That story is also darn dark. Especially end part of the book. "El Coyote" real name Enrique Galan at the beginning of the story, who make suicide by hang himself. His beautiful 16 old "daughter" Lisbet Galan weaves a brutal revenge on Kane to avenge his "fathers" death, and allies with Marion Hedgepeth's gans to using them as aid in revenge, kill a Kane mentally. And she mostly succeeds in it.<br /><br />At the end of the story, once again Kane can't to avoid the shock, and a new deep scar on his soul. It would be a real culture act to puplish this Kane book in english too.Mr.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266793080094568666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-59717343198938459432022-11-21T16:27:30.282+00:002022-11-21T16:27:30.282+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mr.Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266793080094568666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-91495203238425848222011-11-11T00:55:31.870+00:002011-11-11T00:55:31.870+00:00Otto,
Your information about the translations is ...Otto,<br /><br />Your information about the translations is not correct. The first 24 books were translated by Philip Newth, an Englishman who has lived in Norway since 1964. <br /><br />American author Jeffrey M. Wallman translated (not very good IMO) books #25 - 32.<br /><br />No translator(s) were credited for the last 9 books published in english, but I doubt they were Norwegians. The translations of books #33 and 34 are very bad and abridged. The rest are overall very good.Jan Pettersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021466698167714719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-63105560562074911382011-11-10T07:39:35.368+00:002011-11-10T07:39:35.368+00:00This is exciting!

Masterson's writing is very visual, and it it's not difficult to picture this working well for the screen.<br />The artwork alone is very impressive. I am simply amazed this series was never published here in America, which one would think is the prime market for Morgan Kane. Look forward to reading “Without Mercy”, and more of your reviews in this series.

The only difference this time out is that the stories are being released in chronological order. WITHOUT MERCY has just appeared on Amazon, and I understand that other e-books will appear every second week. Whether the series goes on (in English) beyond No 41, KILLER KANE, remains to be seen. We can only hope.benbridgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074912534960234391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-77232237200595107682011-11-06T20:19:12.052+00:002011-11-06T20:19:12.052+00:00John, as far as I can tell they have been taken fr...John, as far as I can tell they have been taken from the UK editions.Steve Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631734673248632467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-67153081588028828052011-11-06T17:27:19.999+00:002011-11-06T17:27:19.999+00:00Do we know if these are the same translations that...Do we know if these are the same translations that were used in the UK editions?<br />The only real gripe I've ever heard about this odd, iconic series is that the translation is occasionally weak.<br /><br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-39650785807115877842011-11-05T18:18:59.452+00:002011-11-05T18:18:59.452+00:00I started reading El Gringo last week :-)I started reading El Gringo last week :-)Jo Walpolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13972318968316588965noreply@blogger.com
