Our reviews of Jerry Ahern's work

The takes

What we have said about Jerry Ahern

  • Miamigrad by Jerry and Sharon Ahern 1989 review. A late-Cold-War paramilitary thriller about a Soviet invasion of Miami via Cuba, played for paperback action rather than political seriousness.

  • A standalone Ahern thriller. Survivalist pulp in a non-Rourke key. Exactly what its fans want.

  • Jerry and Sharon Ahern doing one of their late thrillers. Brigade-level military action wrapped around a recovered Nazi gold premise. Pulp in the warmest sense.
