HANG ME IN HONG KONG by Earl Norman. This is a Rick
Shaw novel, published in 1976 by JADE ORIENT. Earl Norman (Norman Thompson)
wasn’t a polished writer, but his novels set in Japan and Hong Kong were lots
of fun. Thompson, a karate black belt himself, wrote excellent fight scenes,
with some nice plots. Berkley Books published six of his Burns Bannion novels
in the US, then Norman self published five of them in Japan, plus three not
released in the US, and sold them through the military bases PX and Stars &
Stripes to US military personnel in the Orient. Nine novels in all, featuring
Burns Bannion, then a final novel featuring Rick Shaw that is extremely rare. Does
anyone have this book for sale, trade, or will photocopy it for me if they
don’t want to sell it?
