Lines: 18 From: Laurence R Brothers I can't say all that much about NYPD 2025 because I only read the first three chapters while I was eating at a Round Table, and left the book there. Those chapters deal with an incredibly poorly written battle scene (mainly brains leaking out of smashed skulls) and some of the most stupid characters and situations I have ever heard of. This said battle goes on at least 25 pages, between our hero, a vet who seemingly does not know the meaning of pain, some silly NYPD members, and the "Production Security Police" or somesuch, a band of movie-studio guards who have been given extra-legal authority (don't ask me why....) At least the author has enough pride to use a pseudonym. I use the word author advisedly, however. -Laurence -------
