 DER> I love the Dexter books...I like Morse's sardonic sense of humor.  I
 DER> also now think of John Thaw as Morse!  If I saw him in something else
 DER> his character would probably be totally unbelievable!
I generally like the Morse series, but in some of the stories he really 
reats
Sargent Lewis as an incredible dolt. I reality, Morse isn't so much brilliant
as he just stumbles around until his lastest lady friend gets murdered and
then he often flukes onto the murderer's identity.
 DER> Michael Crichton, A CASE OF NEED.  Crichton has written some good
 DER> books but I still think that THE TERMINAL MAN was his best.
 FR> Haven't read that much by Crichton, aside from TERMINAL MAN.  One of
 FR> these days I will pick up his novel set in an alternate universe, one
 FR> when the Germans had invaded and conquered England.
Which Crichton book is that? You aren't thinking of Len Deighton's SS-GB by
chance? I've read most of the books by both authors and that scenario sounds
more like Deighton than Crichton.  I like both authors, but prefer Deighton;
especially the interlocking triligies of 'Game Set Match' and 'Hook Line
Sinker'; and then 'Winter: A Berlin Family' to fill in the gaps and 
ackground
of the main characters. He leaves enough unsaid and unknowable to make his
world of espionage seem quite real.
