![]() Goldman is a highly skilled storyteller, and though he sometimes employs techniques that verge on the strong-arm, he is always compelling. If readers are willing to stow logic and accept that Scylla is not only somehow alive but better than ever, Goldman will reward them with an exhilarating trip through a treacherously violent, giddily perverse terrain. As is frequently the case with men like Scylla, the task that requires his murderous abilities is nothing less than the prevention of World War III. Gutted by the Nazi Szell in the previous book and described as dead, Scylla has been resurrected by modern science, altered in appearance and stashed away on a deserted island until a job worthy of his talents arises. SCYLLA, the secret agent and killer from William Goldman's Marathon Man, is back in a sequel, Brothers. ![]()
