Of all the new novels I’ve had the opportunity to read during 2013, the one I enjoyed the most was Win Scott Eckert’s The Scarlet Jaguar. Published by Meteor House, this novella is a sequel to 2009’s "The Evil In Pemberly House," which Eckert co-authored with the late Philip José Farmer.
The book opens with the heroine of both novels, adventuress and crimefighter Patricia Wildman, having set down new roots at her ancestral home in England. After receiving a visit from the daughter of a kidnapped ...more

One of the best books I've read this year! I loved this book for the following reasons: (1) Phil Farmer created a great pulp character in Patricia Wildman; (2) Win Scott Eckert has assumed the writing of that character in an awesome way; (3) the book is full of action and intrigue; (4) the feel of this book, with its early 70's vibe, made me feel like I was watching a TV show or movie from that era; and (5) the crossovers included in the book add to its charm (I don't think I even grasped or und

The greatest enjoyment of this book will come from fans (believers?) of the Wold Newton Universe because this tale is firmly set in that crossover continuum.
