FORGOTTEN BOOKS #145: THE DELTA FACTOR By Mickey Spillane

Back in 1967, Mickey Spillane’s The Delta Factor appeared with a new hero: Morgan the Raider. Morgan, being held on Federal charges of heisting $40 million in cash, is offered a deal by the U.S. Government. If Morgan agrees to break into a Latin American prison and free a political V.I.P. the Government will reduce Morgan’s jail-time. Of course, Spillane has to complicate things. Morgan finds himself assigned a minder: a beautiful C.I.A. agent. And the never-named Latin American country has a hurricane about to come ashore. Plenty of action and gunplay add up to an exciting conclusion. I’ll be reviewing the sequel to The Delta Factor, The Consummata, tomorrow.

      THE DELTA FACTOR was one of the few Spillane novels I hadn’t read, Randy. Like all of Spillane’s work, it was a quick read. You’ll see my reaction to THE CONSUMMATA tomorrow.

    I’ve not read this one, George. Thanks for posting it. Now to see if my local used stores has a copy.

    I always love the cover design of male action oriented books of this era.
