„…izgledala je kao ovaploćen mit, Marsova ćerka, suverena gospodarica ratničkih umetnosti, noseći auru čvrsto, požudno, uporno.” Kako kaže stara narodna: „Ko čeka, taj i dočeka.” Nakon gomile peripetija, otkaza, raznih problemčića i problemčina, a prevashodno zaista mnogo, mnogo posla, čast nam je da vam konačano predstavimo treći tom „Modesti Blejz”. Pred vama je knjiga koja je specifična po mnogo čemu, ali svakako najviše po tome što se ovim tomom okončava opus veličanstvenog, prerano preminulog, Džima Holdaveja, a crtačku palicu preuzima legendarni Enrike Badija Romero, sa kojim ćemo se družiti u narednih nekoliko godina. Takođe, nije zgoreg ni pomenuti da je u ovom tomu i kultna, ozloglašena epizoda „Avantura u kamenom dobu”, koja je svojevremeno u britanskoj javnosti digla dosta prašine, a neke ljude ostavila i bez posla, ali o tome ćete već morati sami da se informišete unutar stranica ovog izdanja…
Author
Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information. Peter O'Donnell also wrote as Madeleine Brent. http://www.cs.umu.se/~kenth/modesty.html is an excellent resource on this author. To help keep the novels and the adventure strip collections separate, here's some info about the Modesty Blaise works. In 1963, O'Donnell began his 38-year run as writer of the Modesty Blaise adventure story strip, which appeared six days a week in English and Scottish newspapers. He retired the strip in 2001. Each strip story took 18-20 weeks to complete. Several publishers over the years have attempted to collect these stories in large softcovers. Titan Publishing is currently in the process of bringing them all out in large-format softcover, with 2-3 stories in each books. These are called "graphic novels" in the Goodreads title. Meanwhile, during those 38 years, O'Donnell also wrote 13 books about Modesty Blaise: 11 novels and 2 short story/novella collections. These stories are not related to the strip stories; they are not novelizations of strip stories. They are entirely new, though the characters and "lives" are the same. These have been labeled "series #0". There is a large article on Peter O'Donnell on Wikipedia, with a complete bibliography.
