The next batch of books this year is a slew of fiction: Stephen King's Salem's Lot, which was more a 'town mystery' than a vampire nove; Loren D. Estleman's The Book of Murdock, in which Page Murdock impersonates a priest to capture rustlers; P.T. Deutermann's submarine yarn, The Iceman, taking place under the waters of Guadalcanal; James Webb's Vietnam novel Fields of Fire; King's more recent The Outsider; and Larry McMurtry's Horsemen Pass By. Not a bad collection: two Stephen King, two historical fictions, and two westerns! My favorite of this back is a three-way tie between The Outsider, The Iceman, and Fields of Fire (all were great); my least favorite was McMurtry's Horsemen Pass By (I prefer westerns set in the 1800s).
