The hook Is radically different, the action moving smoothly, yet with gripping Intensity. Burdett's gift for realism holds the attention of the reader.

The talk und action are unvarnished and the bnck-stago scenes of the big fight ure coarse. Yet their apparent realism saves them from gratuitous dlsahleo ableness. The tule summed up Is nn epic of the ring, surdld in spots, but with most human and appealing characters. It is n pleasant and surprising change with its sharo of pathos.
