The Big Bang

The Lost Mike Hammer Sixties Novel

De: Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins

Narrado por: Stacy Keach

In midtown Manhattan, Mike Hammer, recovering from a near-fatal mix-up with the Mob, runs into drug dealers assaulting a young hospital messenger. He saves the kid, but the muggers are not so lucky. In a New York of flashy discotheques, swanky bachelor pads, and the occasional dark alley, Hammer deals with doctors and drug addicts, hippie chicks and hit men, meeting changing times with his timeless brand of violent vengeance.

Originally begun and outlined by Spillane in the mid-sixties, and expertly completed by his longtime collaborator Max Allan Collins, The Big Bang is vintage Mike Hammer on acid—literally. Hammer and his beautiful, deadly partner Velda take on the narcotics racket in New York, just as the streets have dried up and rumors run rampant of a massive heroin shipment due any day.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Mike Hammer is an icon of our culture.” ( New York Times)

Excellent Mystery Story

Very good Mickey Spillane mystery novel - narrated well by Mr. Keach. I enjoyed the narrative throughout the story, sometimes getting the feeling I perhaps was right there.

Thank you

Exciting twists and turns

A great tapestry of characters, connections and action presented so the listener feels like an in-person observer.

love a good private eye mystery.

Stacey keach is amazing. he has that Kevin Conroy (animated Batman) quality to his voice that makes any hard a$$ detective very attractive to listen to. story was on point and characters stayed true to their origin from point of introduction. it's a 5 star from me.

Banged

Typical Mickey Spillane..good story and well narrated by Stacy Keach. I would recommend it as a good private eye novel.

Reflect the conservative swing of view on crime of the era

Pedestrian hard boiled PI story with irritatingly boring - self indulgent tells of sexual exploits, lowbrow reactionary sociology in the same vein of Dirty Harry and Death Wish, betraying an angry white neanderthal acting tough to mask the fear of kissing control in what he considered as changing world.

disappointed in the ending

Usual Mike Hammer with a lot of action but the ending really was a disappointment.
