Información de contracubierta:
“La guerra contra las drogas es la más grande y mortífera mentira perpetrada por el gobierno norteamericano contra sus conciudadanos”, dice Michael Levine, autor de este libro apasionante.
Agente de la DEA con más de veinticinco años de servicio, Levine se infiltró y trabajó en forma encubierta siguiendo las diversas rutas de la droga, desde Bangkok hasta Buenos Aires. Dondequiera que viajó fue testigo presencial de las más escandalosas violaciones a las leyes antiestupefacientes por parte de funcionarios norteamericanos. La gran mentira blanca conduce al lector por ese tortuoso trayecto y exhibe la verdadera historia de la epidemia de la droga. Con una prosa ágil y sin eufemismos, reproduciendo diálogos textuales y situaciones insospechadas, Levine denuncia a la CIA por haber auspiciado grupos paramilitares bolivianos que asesinaron a funcionarios de la DEA en ese país, por proteger a traficantes y, especialmente, por haber creado “La Corporación”, una estructura ilegal tan enorme que ha sido bautizada “la General Motors de la cocaína”, para el tráfico y venta de drogas en el continente americano.
Levine espera que este libro sirva para abrir los ojos de los lectores ante las cuestionables acciones del gobierno estadounidense, que mientras exige la creación de nuevos impuestos para combatir las drogas, inunda el mundo con ellas.
 
Información de solapas:
Luego de abandonar la DEA tras veinticinco años de servicio, Michael Levine se desempeña como jefe del Escuadrón Antinarcóticos de Cape Cod. Además de La gran mentira blanca, ha publicado otros libros, entre ellos el best-seller Deep Cover. Vive junto con su mujer Laura Kavanau-Levine en Nueva York.
La prensa norteamericana ha dicho de él: “Levine es una figura fundamental en la historia de la DEA, por su estilo y por el éxito de sus operaciones” (Esquire); “Levine ha arriesgado su vida en incontables oportunidades y puesto tras las rejas a más de tres mil criminales del mundo de las drogas” (Los Angeles Times); “Los traficantes no son los únicos enemigos de Levine, como lo demuestra su libro: los burócratas del gobierno son más peligrosos y mortíferos aún” (The New York Times).

Información de contracubierta:
En la selva del Amazonas, cada paso puede conducirlos a una trampa mortal...
Todos los peligros de la selva y todas las riquezas que esconde una de las últimas regiones vírgenes de la tierra aguardan a la expedición que se interna en el corazón del Mato Grosso en busca de una legendaria Ciudad Perdida y de un tesoro nazi. Le llevó treinta años a Spaatz, un antiguo SS que ahora se llama Smith, encontrar la pista del camarada que le traicionó cuando la guerra terminaba y huyó con el oro del Tercer Reich. Y Spaatz está decidido, cueste lo que cueste, a vengar esa traición. Pero los hombres que le acompañan en la expedición no son lo que parecen, y tienen sus propios y secretos motivos para estar allí. Y en medio de la selva amazónica, en una tierra donde sólo rige la ley del más fuerte o del más astuto, las batallas son sin cuartel...
 
MI COMENTARIO:
Más una novela de aventuras que de espías, es al final de la misma que uno se entera que varios de los personajes son agentes secretos de distintas organizaciones.
Ambientada en el Mato Groso brasileño, tiene los condimentos típicos de una novela de aventuras: escenario tropical, peligros provenientes de tribus de indígenas muy primitivos, una ciudad perdida que contiene tesoros antiquísimos, una travesía jalonada por imprevistos, etc. La mejor parte de la novela es la que justamente transcurre durante el viaje de los protagonistas a la ciudad perdida. Un antiguo militar nazi, con su identidad cambiada, busca a un camarada que lo traicionó durante los últimos días de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, al llevarse importantes cuotas de los tesoros saqueados por el Tercer Reich. Acompañado por personajes de distinto origen, llega a la ciudad perdida donde se encuentra con su destino.
El final es despachado por MacLean en pocas páginas, casi a las apuradas, presentando la resolución a multitud de interrogantes. Pareciera que el autor se hubiera cansado de su propia novela y la quisiera clausurar de un tirón. Me parece que el argumento, que había ido ganando en interés (MacLean describe con gran oficio el recorrido por la selva), termina implosionando en un final decepcionante.
 
ADAPTACIÓN CINEMATOGRÁFICA:
En 1989 se realizó una película basada en el libro: River of Death, dirigida por Steve Carver y protagonizada por Michael Dudikoff (John Hamilton), Robert Vaughn (Dr. Wolfgang Manteuffel), Donald Pleasence (Heinrich Spaatz), Herbert Lom (Cor. Ricardo Diaz), L.Q. Jones (Eddie Hiller), Sarah Maur Thorp (Anna Blakesley), Cynthia Erland (Maria) y Foziah Davidson (Dalia). En el ámbito hispanohablante, el film fue titulado El río de muerte, aunque también fue conocido como Río sangriento.

BLU MANCHU

New release: The Mask of Fu Manchu (1932) is heading to Blu-ray on April 30th from Warner Archive. From the press release: "Boris Karloff takes one his most celebrated cinematics turn as the diabolical fiend Dr. Fu Manchu, and Myrna Loy plays his exotic daughter in this 1932 cult horror classic. This time, the evil Fu Manchu patiently awaits the discovery of Genghis Khan's tomb. For he is certain that possession of Khan's mask and sword will enable him to rule the East and lead it to victory over the hated Western world. When British scientists in the Gobi Desert discover the tomb, Fu captures and tortures them in his elaborate Torture Garden, hoping they will take him to the treasure he craves. But an unexpected traitor has other plans for the doctor. Based on Sax Rohmer's original story "The Mask of Fu Manchu" is "fast moving and humorous" (Halliwell's Film Guide) and full of pre-code suspense! The film is presented in its original, uncut theatrical release version as first seen in 1932." This release features a 4K scan restoration (I believe the disc is 2K), commentary, and more!

MANCINI BOOK

New release: Pop culture and music scholar Jon Burlingame has a new book out: Dreamsville: Henry Mancini, Peter Gunn, and Music for TV Noir. From the press release: "Henry Mancini (1924-1994) is renowned as the Oscar- and Grammy-winning composer of such timeless standards as “Moon River” and “Days of Wine and Roses,” as well as such memorable instrumental themes as “The Pink Panther” and “Baby Elephant Walk.” But preceding all of them was the wildly popular theme from Peter Gunn, a television series whose soundtrack won the very first Grammy ever awarded for Album of the Year. Award-winning author and journalist Jon Burlingame chronicles the backstory of Peter Gunn and how its music propelled Mancini to fame and fortune, launching a decades-long collaboration with filmmaker Blake Edwards that encompassed nearly 30 movies, from Breakfast at Tiffany’s to Victor/Victoria and beyond. Burlingame (author of six books including The Music of James Bond and Music for Prime Time) relates the untold story of Peter Gunn and its companion series Mr. Lucky; examines the music Mancini wrote for both series and their chart-topping success as modern jazz albums; and tells how this 1958-61 period in TV history set the stage for one of the most remarkable careers of any American composer in the Twentieth Century."

Q BRANCH

Upcoming release: Ian Fleming Publications has announced they will be releasing a new series of novels based on Q! From the press release: "We’re pleased to announce a new crime series project in collaboration with Zaffre, the flagship commercial fiction imprint of Bonnier Books UK. The new series, The Q Mysteries, will be centred around the iconic character of Q from the James Bond adventures. The first book, Quantum of Menace, will be published autumn 2025. This top-secret project will be written by acclaimed crime writer and Chair of the Crime Writers’ Association, Vaseem Khan. Filled with wit, humour and verve, Vaseem Khan brings his vibrant and dynamic style to one of Ian Fleming’s most beloved characters. Q Branch – the Secret Service department responsible for weapons and gadgets – was first introduced in Ian Fleming’s groundbreaking Casino Royale and featured throughout the James Bond books. The armourer in Q Branch, Major Boothroyd, first appeared in Dr No, giving 007 a Walther PPK to replace his Beretta firearm. The character and his interactions with the super spy have entered the cultural zeitgeist. Readers and fans of 007 will now get to spend real time with him in the charming milieu of a crime series." Looks interesting! We've seen Bond continuation stories for years, of course, and Moneypenny has figured into new books. The Bond ensemble offers a number of interesting possibilities for expanded projects and I'm surprised it took so long for Q to get his turn. When Connery's Bond tapped the style and dash of the Space Age, I think Q's contributions were an essential part of bringing the character into the modern world. As a boffin working on cool and crafty gadgets, problem solving, and staying one step ahead in defensive innovations, it seems like his corner of operations is more central than ever these days. See Ian Fleming Publications for more info. Not final cover artwork.

Tradecraft: Jamie Bell Joins Clancy Adaptation WITHOUT REMORSE

It looks like this time, Paramount's decades-held hopes of making a movie out of Tom Clancy's epic saga Without Remorse are really going to happen! Last month, Variety reported that Jamie Bell will join the previously announced Michael B. Jordan (playing frequent Clancy hero John Clark) in the movie from director Stefano Sollima (helmer of the very Clancy-esque Sicario: Day of the Soldado). Bell will play a familiar character from the Tom Clancy universe, CIA Deputy Director of Operations Robert Ritter. Henry Czerny memorably essayed the role in 1994's Clear and Present Danger, in which Willem Dafoe played Clark.

Today, several more actors joined the cast, making this Without Remorse more and more of a reality! (Forgive my incredulity. It's just hard to believe this movie is finally happening after literally decades of development!) Deadline reports that Luke Mitchell (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Jacob Scipio (Bad Boys For Life), Cam Gigandet (Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden), Jack Kesy (12 Strong), and Todd Lasance (Spartacus) are all signing on as members of Clark's SEAL team. Nearly all of them have played special forces operators before. Additionally, Jodie Turner-Smith (The Last Ship, The Neon Demon) has been cast as a potential love interest for Jordan.

According to the trade, "Without Remorse is the origin story of John Clark, played by Jordan, a Navy SEAL-turned-CIA ops officer, who seeks revenge after his girlfriend is killed by a Baltimore drug lord." That sounds more or less like the novel, so if this capsule summary comes from the studio (and not just a Deadline writer Wikipedia-ing the book), then perhaps we can expect a fairly faithful adaptation. What I'm guessing we won't get is a period piece. I doubt Clark will serve in Vietnam in this version; I suspect they'll make it contemporary. (This was the plan back when Tom Hardy was supposed to play Clark in a series intended to cross over with Chris Pine's intended Jack Ryan franchise.) Paramount are very eager to launch a new film franchise with this movie, already eyeing Clancy's Rainbow Six as a follow-up. Also unclear is whether there will be any crossover with Amazon's Jack Ryan TV series, which hails from the same producers. The Clark character has been kept out of that series so far because of the percolating film franchise, but that doesn't necessarily preclude a cameo from John Krasinski in Without Remorse....

Without Remorse is slated to open September 18, 2020.
