The takes

What we have said about David Alexander

  • Bandit by David Alexander 1997 review. A black-ops paramilitary thriller about a former Delta Force operator running interference for an off-the-books CIA sanctions team in the Balkans.

  • David Alexander writing pulp-era action thrillers in a leaner form than the genre usually allows. Reliable airport reading from a workhorse.
