This thriller by a retired army officer has many things going for it: two very well-drawn central characters who are U.S. military police based in Seoul; a large cast of colorful secondary characters; some lively and inventive plot twists; and a setting--South Korea in 1975, 20 years after the Korean War--quickly brought to vivid life. George Sueno, the brains of the two-man Army CID team, grew up in foster homes in East Los Angeles, learned Korean quickly, and isn't nearly as baffled by the complexity of Korean customs as most of his fellow soldiers. His partner, Ernie Bascom, found a home in the Army better than the one he'd left in Detroit to go to Vietnam; he's a blaze of mad action and sexual energy. They make an excellent team, bringing back memories of Chester Himes's Grave Digger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson--two cops who also bent the rules to get results.
Book Description
"It's great to have these two mavericks back. . . . Mr. Limon writes with gruff respect for the culture of Seoul and with wonderful bleak humor, edged in pain, about G.I. life in that exotic city."-The New York Times Book Review
"Combining the grim routine of a modern police procedural with the cliffhanging action of a thrilling movie serial, Slicky Boys is full of sharp observations and unexpected poignancy."-The Wall Street Journal
"There's atmosphere to spare here and enough suspense to please. A colorful thriller."-Publishers Weekly
"An irresistible tale!"-Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"Two of the more memorable sleuths in the modern mystery canon."-The Cleveland Plain Dealer
"The writing is plain and sinewy, the characterizations are quietly brilliant and the moral vision is as cold as a Seoul bar girl's gaze."-The Oregonian
In this sequel to New York Times Notable Book Jade Lady Burning, a pair of American military cops come up against major gang culture in South Korea's back alleys.
George Sueno and his partner Ernie Bascom thought they'd seen it all, but nothing could prepare them for the Slicky Boys. They're everywhere. They can kill a man in a thousand ways you don't even want to know about. And you'll never even see them coming. They steal, they kill, they slip away. George and Ernie are about to discover that even the U.S. Military is no match for evil and that human sympathy can sometimes lead to a lonely grave.
Martin Limon retired from U.S. military service after 20 years in the U.S. Army, including ten years in Korea. He and his wife live in Seattle. He is the author of Jade Lady Burning and Buddha's Money, which will be published in the Soho Crime series next year.

Entertaining, even gripping story of GI cops set in Seoul in the seventies.......2007-01-08
This is the second book by Limon that I read. The first, unfortunately, was "Buddha's Money", which follows this and I thought was unpleasant enough that I almost gave up on the series. Fortunately I persisted and read this next, and I was really pleased. This is a much better book than "Buddha's Money." It is more plausible, better plotted, less gruesome, and with just as much if not more local color. The picture it paints of GI life in South Korea in the seventies may be shocking and to some offensive -- prostitution, hard drinking, thievery, and even corruption are routine -- but my sense from talking to friends in the military who served abroad, including Korea, is that whether we like it or not, it's probably a reasonably authentic portrayal.
The author has a real gift for depicting the daily life of the GIs, and the Koreans who happen to be in their orbit. The author nevertheless manages to present the characters sensitively and sympathetically, even when they are prostitutes, black marketeers and thieves. I think this is a real achievement. I think a lazier or less skilled would author would have given into the temptation to present such characters as over-the-top caricatures.
The plotting stays within the bounds of reason. Whereas certain aspects of the plot in "Buddha's Money" were simply outlandish, and not credible, the plot here does manage to remain plausible, even when it becomes quite complex. There are a few places here and there that are a bit of a stretch, but outlandish, at least not by the standards of the mystery genre.
Great Atmosphere, Decent Mystery.......2005-09-15
The unique adventures of U.S. Army CID (Criminal Investigation Division) cops George Sueno and Ernie Bascom first appeared in Limon's striking debut, Jade Lady Burning. Set in mid-'70s Korea, the series draws upon Limon's own in-country CID experiences to paint a vivid picture of a large American army and its often seedy interaction with locals. The story kicks off with the murder of a British soldier which partially implicates Sueno and Bascom, and thus forces them to investigate, even though they'd rather be drinking and whoring.
Their poking around leads them into the tangled world of organized black marketeering and the Korean "slicky boy" gangs who rule that world. Limon does a nice job of skewering the Army's obsession with halting petty black marketeering while turning a blind eye to much larger scams. Sueno's literal decent unto the slicky boy underworld is perhaps a little too pulp fictiony and melodramatic, but it's interesting, especially the historical ties back to the Japanese occupation. And just as in Fritz Lang's classic film "M", here the underworld and cops join forces to track down a vicious killer. A few bodies later it becomes apparent that there's a deadly deserter running around South Korea gathering secrets to sell to the Communists.
At the peril of their careers and lives, Sueno and Bascom put it all on the line to get their man. Their manhunt strains credulity at times, although Limon is careful to build it up as a "this time it's personal" kind of situation for them. Sueno is a good leading character, an East LA orphan who has managed to pick up the local lingo and customs fairly easily. He's perhaps a little too culturally savvy, but that's balanced out by his hair-trigger white partner Ernie, a Vietnam vet who is liable to get bored if there isn't a fight or girl to look forward to in the near future. On the whole, the story is perhaps a little too "thrilleresque" for my taste, but it's well worth reading for the glimpse into an unknown world where teenage soldiers are comparatively rich, and everything has its price.
Action and excitement in blackmarket Korea.......2005-07-23
This is an excellent sequel and follow-up to Jade Lady Burning, Mr. Limon's first novel, and I was thrilled to get to ride again with two of my favorite rogues, military investigators George Sueno and Ernie Bascom. I love these two characters and I love Mr. Limon's novels! This sequel has even more action than the original and is a fun and exciting romp through the seedy world that springs up around military bases in Asia, indeed military bases since time immemorial everywhere. Having been stationed in Asia in the Eighties myself as a Naval officer and having spent time in Korea, I can attest to the absolute and amazing authenticity of Mr. Limon's writing. I am in awe of how well he has captured and portrayed that unique world with it's complicated bubble economy of vice, innocence, predation, humor, money, face, need and desire. In this outing our protagonists Ernie and George are set up by a prostitute and the result is a murdered British soldier; Ernie and George have to work with the local Black Marketeers, the Slicky Boys, to unravel the crime.
For those of you who have served overseas, grab this book immediately, for you will absolutely love it. It lovingly and accurately paints with words a world that most us would have terrible trouble untangling, let alone articulating, in our own minds. For those of you who haven't been able to serve or travel overseas, this is an excellent book with, without a doubt, the best depictation of the Korean/American military economy ever written. It's simply an amazing portait and haunting in it's evocative power. Yet it's also a lot of fun, a little more light-hearted than Limon's other novels, and I would unreservedly recommend it to anyone. But please remember the book deals with an extremely foreign culture and our culture's attempt to interact successfully with it; there is as much Korean social mores and value here as American. This is deliberate, and is meant to broaden horizons and appreciation of an extremely complex setting.
I still find it mind-boggling that this author seems to have been so completely overlooked. I also, despite not often speaking about other's reviews, wonder why the publishing world's reviews are so tepid. I have had problems with the reviews from Publisher's Weekly and Library Journal; they do not do this writer justice and I am puzzled by this. The books are exceedingly well-crafted, the characters finely detailed, believable, and convincingly human, the atmosphere and setting as expertly drawn as any writer has accomplished. To put my concerns in context, I have read thousands of books and thousands of reviews, and I have never often though, "wow, that review is off the mark!"
I can't help but think that perhaps the subject matter is offensive to some and that colors their perception of Mr. Limon's accomplishments as a writer. The book does cover the military, the personal excesses found within any military organization, prostitution, black marketeers and many other politically incorrect and abhorrent issues. It also, beneath it's surface story, does so with a tenderness and understanding that I find remarkable and commendable. So I will take a rare public stand here and say I take exception to some of the Editorial Reviews. Their remarks are not off mark often, but they are in this case. This is an excellent book, an excellent writer, and I sincerely believe that you will completely enjoy yourself with this one.
exhilarating Cold War military crime thriller .......2004-09-18
In 1975, U.S. Army criminal investigation division agents Corporal George Sueno and Sergeant Ernie Bascom enjoy their duty assignment in Seoul, South Korean as they officially can make the rounds of the bars and whore joints catering to the Yanks. While doing their usual tour, a hooker Eun-hi informs "Geogie" that a virtuous woman wants to talk with him; if interested he is to go to the Kayagum Teahouse. Ernie persuades George to see what the woman wants. Miss Ku pays the duo to deliver a note to British soldier Cecil Whitcomb. Not long afterward, they learn that someone murdered Cecil at the rendezvous point provided in the note they personally hand carried to him.
Miffed for being played the suckers, East LA George and Detroit Ernie bully their way into the investigation because they have a score to settle. They quickly realize they need special local help, but not from the MPs or the Korean police. Instead they make contact with the underworld mob chief The Herbalist So head of the SLICKY BOYS. Working in tandem they begin to find more than they expected as an American military deserter apparently is killing anyone who interferes with his lucrative selling of military secrets to the Communist North.
This is an exhilarating Cold War military crime thriller that grips readers from the moment the dynamic twosome meet Eun-hi and see some easy money. The story line never lets up as the embarrassed George and humiliated Ernie make it their business to avenge the affront of being used. They make the tale as they provide readers with a fabulous joy ride through the underbelly of 1970s Seoul, catering to the young Americans.

Book Description
Who was Kokopelli? His image was on petroglyphs in all the Americas. Maybe he was an emissary of peace, love, and sexuality. The author had a vision to tell his story, through his eyes, as it may have been. For adults only - there are explicit sexual situations. However, there are many spiritual themes and lessons that can better your life.

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW.......2005-01-21
A book of fantasy, Kokopelli's Dream is a fictional journey of the legend of Kokopelli, the flute player. Kokopelli's image has been found in South Central and North Americas and beyond, but it is not known who he was nor from where he came; his image and legend survive with vigor today. Written with simplicity, the author explains things well.
A story inspired by a dream the author had, and written as though he walked and lived Kokopelli's life. Anyone interested in legends, especially of the Americas, will enjoy this tale of the peripatetic life of a man? Spirit? Who wanders the Americas long ago, spreading the concept of compassion, peace, love, sexuality, and spirituality; but whose origin and end are unknown. The legend has traveled down through the ages and is a fascinating read. However, be aware that his book is for adults only as there are several explicit sexual situations included.
"When entering (the Temascal - Sweat Lodge), we would stop at the door and say the words, "Oma Teo." It is hard to translate, but it was brought to us to thank the Creator for all there is and for all duality: the good, the bad; the day, the night; the female and male. In other words the Balance to life and all that exists."

Get inspired to get moving. Bruce Lee shares his workout secrets. Now you can have a Bruce Lee body too.
The Art of Expressing the Human Body.......2007-02-22
Very Very motivational. I have always wondered how bruce got his body and this shows how he did it. I really liked it.
Interesting, but could be writen better........2007-01-04
The information presented about the training schedule of Bruce Lee is very complete. The problem with this book is that there is a lot of repitition. It could have about one fourth the number of pages that it is. It lacks what I was really after-Bruce's philosophies. Overall, this is not worth the money, you can easily find the information from this book on the internet somewhere.
Bruce Lee: the art of expressing the human body.......2007-01-04
if you ever wanted to know how Bruce Lee got the body that he had, this is your book. very well written, and very easy to understand. lots of details and very in depth
The Art of Expressing the Human Body.......2006-08-25
There was a time that I was skeptical that a 145 lb., 5'7", individual could have anything to offer as far as offering instruction on building tremendous physical strength and acheiving combat skills that are rivaled by few. This book deals with the first point...that of building tremendous physical strength which would be utilized for acheiving excelling combat skills. Great insight into the mind of a man who I once doubted could acheive such greatness.

Remember.......2007-09-09
This just doesn't have good old recipes, it has wonderful stories to go along with them. Makes a person homesick for that period of time when there were good cooks, good stories, and a loving family.
Anyone from Kentucky will love it
'Briar Hoppin" Cooking.......2007-04-11
I spent my first 58 years in Dayton, Ohio, my mothers' people hailed from Georgetown/Lexington Kentucky- tobacco farmers for the most part. My materanl grandmother could have written this cookbook. It is the best regiional cookbook, authentic. I have ordered 4 more to share with my children.
Shuck Beans, Stack Cakes, and Honest Fried Chicken.......2006-06-30
This is the best book on southern cooking I've ever found. It doesn't need the first part of the title. "The Heart and Soul of Southern Country Kitchens",is however,quite appropriate. These are the foods I grew up with and have missed for years. Thanks to Ronni Lundy's book I've found them again.
The best ever on "real food".......2006-03-02
This cookbook is an absolute delight to read and to use. I grew up on this food in Louisville, KY. My Dad was a city boy and a firefighter and my Mom was a country girl. We lived on a combination of firehouse/country food and there is no more delicious combination of cuisine. Like a prior reviewer, the excerpt about the Cozy Theatre and the Suburban Fish Fry brought back some powerful memories. That fish was the best I have ever had. Ronni Lundy's book is the epitome of real regional food.
mouth watering .......2005-12-06
Ronni Lundy knows southern comfort foods and like any good southerner has a story that goes with it. Her creamed corn, biscuits, pies, and well any dish in this book are wonderful because it is the honest to goodness recipe handed down from generation to generation. I really like her writing style as she shares some good meals and profiles compassionate people. This book will make your mouth water and wish that you were sitting at her table.

Wonderful way to introduce kids to history.......2006-01-24
My 5 year-old daughter, an animal lover, really enjoyed the way we talked about history through the idea of White House pets. At the very least, it helped her identify the names of some ex-presidents. I like how the book gives a bit of a background on all presidents at the end.
FOR ANIMAL LOVERS OF ALL AGES - TWO PAWS UP!!!.......2005-02-21
-2004 PARENT'S CHOICE GOLD AWARD -
"For The Animal Lover...This inspired picture book for ages 7 to 10 tells the true stories of such bizarre presidential beasts as Jefferson's grizzlies and Van Burne's tiger cubs."
- PEOPLE MAGAZINE - (Dec. 2004)
"Election Selections...Animal lovers in the family will enjoy author Gibbs Davis and illustrator David A. Johnson's WACKIEST WHITE HOUSE PETS, a collection that includes Thomas Jefferson's grizzly bears - a gift from explorers Lewis and Clark - Andrew Johnson's mice and, of course, best-selling author Millie Bush, the first President Bush's springer spaniel. It's hard not to laugh at such great illustrations as Millie with a laptop and Woodrow Wilson's sheep mowing the White House lawn."
-NEW YORK POST - (Oct. 2004)
neat book.......2004-11-19
Did you know that the White House has been home to more that 400 pets? In the book Wackiest White House pets we meet some of the most unusual ones. John Quincy Adams had an alligator for 2 months, Thomas Jefferson had 2 grizzly bears! Of course the most popular pet of all has been a dog. The book features a list of presidents and all of the pets that each one had.
The book taught me a lot of each president. I never knew that the White house had been home to some of the wackiest pets!
I would recommed this book to others. It's very educational.

Basic in Interpretation.......2007-09-14
When one need to study and learn the basics, this is the original guidebook on guiding! The text is almost quaint (written in the 50's) as are the pictures, but there are still nuggets worth mining.
I found myself highlighting the "do"s and "don't"s that are now features in other fields such as marketing and customer service. There aren't many reference books on the subject of interpretation, so this is a good place to start.
a nice dry introduction into interpreting.......2004-05-04
This book is a nice BASIC introduction for those who know nothing about what interpretation is in relation to a museum. I found it very dry and outdated. The author tries to spice it up a bit with humor and examples of national parks but all in all, i would not recommend it.
interpretation is an art form!.......2004-03-21
Interpretation is the art of making what is presented meaningful to the audience. This book is useful for anyone who wants to get others interested in a subject, whether it is for a presentation, an art exhibit, or the local park's visitor center. If an exhibit, lecture, presentation, or tour does or does not get you interested in the topic, this book will explain most of the reasons why. This is all sound wisdom, offered in the context of museums and national parks. It's easy to read and engaging, employing the principles within.
I. Talk about what is being desplayed/described to the personality or experience of the visitor.
II. Interpretation is revelation based on information.
III. Interpretation is an art.
IV. The goal is provocation, not instruction.
V. Try to present the whole instead of the part.
VI. Don't just dumb it down for kids.
Tilden elaborates on these beautifully, with nice examples.
After reading this book not only do I know how to improve upon my own interpretation, but I can critique other interpretation and at least know when to appreciate a good display when I see one. Just remember that there are more than 6 principles. Use this book to start thinking about interpretation as a skill and an art, instead of the bible of interpretation.
Interpretation for the 21st Century: Fifteen Guiding Principles for Interpreting Nature and Culture is an updated version recommended to me but I haven't read it yet.
Excellent.......2002-01-26
Ok, so in parts you can definitely tell this book was written in the 50's. However most of it is still extremely valid, and extremely useful. I would not hesitate to reccomend it, a very good read for interpreters or interpreters in training.
Required Reading for National Park Service Rangers.......2001-02-23
It's a decent, reasonable somewhat giddy book on interpreting the natural world. It is also practically required that National Park Service ranger's follow Tilden's principles for interpretation. So if you ever want to be a National Park Service Ranger, it'd be great to have this under your belt!
Book Description
This vital book is a collection on the various ways archaeologists and resource managers have devised to make available and interpret submerged cultural resources for the public, such as underwater archaeological preserves, shipwreck trails, and land-based interpretive media and literature. The concept of preserves, parks, and trails has proven to be an effective and popular method of public education and heritage tourism with the end result being a greater public understanding of the value of preserving and protecting shipwrecks, and other submerged cultural resources, for the future. Within each contribution, the authors focus on:
-legislation;
-economic benefits;
-interpretation methods;
-problems and successes;
-future directions regarding their preserve, park, or trail programs.
Various approaches to the concept have been explored and this book is an effort to make available our experiences in the management of submerged cultural resources for the public.
This volume is an invaluable resource to underwater archaeologists, cultural and heritage resource managers, museum and heritage educators and those studying these professions.

Customer Reviews:
Good Read.......2004-01-02
I walked into a christian bookstore to find a title that could inspire my ex-boyfriend. He had been through a lot in his childhood and many of those things have seeped into how he reacts to things as an adult. I then picked up Johnson's book and went home to read it, before sending it off to my ex. I read it straight through in one day; it gets hard to put down once you have started it. Johnson tells his life story in a moving and conversational way; I mostly enjoyed his analysis of his childhood as he described the events. It does seem like, towards the end, that Johnson either ran out of time or energy to really conclude the book, though.
Never the less, I think that it is a good book to add to any book club's reading list, possibly as a spark to discuss issues regarding the plight of the black man.
This book is well worth the journey!.......2003-09-27
In today's time there's no escaping the plight of our youth. We're steadily dealing with declining apathy to strengthening the community, and other related problems associated with the disintegrating of the Black family. I neglected to mention the importance of how self-embodiment is ethically involved in the aforementioned. So much so that Nevlynn Johnson in his new book, Faith, Courage, and Wisdom takes us through a spiritual and guiding labyrinth of truisms associated with the narration of opinionated views in telling a poignant story. He manages to do it using biblical verse and analogies to forge truths manifested in a style that is written with personal reflections to illustrate his point(s). This is a story of a man finding himself and injecting the meaning of self-awareness to get to levels that would show how reaching that possible dream of manhood can be attainable. Using salient references to having to deal with being fatherless in Michigan, problems coming of age in Louisville, Kentucky, and all of the ill-will with finding balance amid strife, gives this book much more weight when reading it for its intrinsic value. The lessons learned here is being able to follow a transcript for success using God's plan for salvation in achieving satisfying results. It's about renewal and rebirth, about reclaiming and reassurances....it's about what should be done to give one new leases on life. To this effect, the author really sells his points by giving us autobiographical sketches on this trip in reflective narrations. I really enjoyed reading this book. His story is much like that of many of our urban poor with so many loose cannons and misguided plans that are apropos to their individual surroundings. We harken back to stories of children raised by single mothers, sorry fathers leaving their families, overt racism in society and in the school systems, and street violence that divide our neighborhoods. All of this affected this author. He tells it all as he discusses his surviving those mean streets and divided loyalties.
How does one overcome those trials and tribulations? How did Mr. Johnson cope with his problematic issues? Why did he feel so adamant in telling this story? The answers are beautifully interwoven in a prose that truly makes this more than a page-turner's delight. I love the way he gave just the right hints of personal commitment and the collaboration of different forces to forge the sum of a greater whole. Giving all the glory to God is only part of the story, but from what I gathered, the real definition of perseverance and a doggedly stubborn resolve to rise above mediocrity added substance to the pot.
The book is divided into six parts with the chapters titled appropriately to depict thematic overtones for each transforming stage of his life. In all, there are 31 haunting chapters. This is a well put together book that will bring stability and a sense of belonging for any young person to emulate, and for all older people to use as a blue print in involving the spiritual, and the self-edification of knowing who you are to bring about change. I'm always in search of better ways to educate, bring about reclaiming that which is lost to anybody that can use meaningful example(s) to wrought new beginnings. If reading this book to make differences in our youth making the right choices, then it would be well-served to use it for what it was intended. Thank you Nevlynn Johnson. Your journey was well worth the time I took to read your story...and hope that others read it for what it's worth!
