The Medusa Stone by Jack Du Brul

Rating: WARTY!

"When an American spy satellite crashes down in Eritrea, it reveals a legendary lost mine! Can geologist Philip Mercer survive an international web of danger and intrigue?" Nah. He was standing right under it when it came down. He's dead as a doornail. Meanwhile other dead doornails rise up and it becomes a zombie apocalypse of dead doornails. Resentful of being abused for so many years to describe dead folks, they rebel and rampage through city after city nailing victims relentlessly. Yawn. It needs to be retitled Doornail of the Dead....

River of Ruin by Jack Du Brul

Rating: WARTY!

The fact that Clown Cussler apparently once said that this author is "the finest adventure writer on the scene today" is more than enough to permanently turn me off his books.
