EARLY REVIEW – One Tough Bastard by Adam Howe will release on 3.1.21
MY REVIEW
As soon as I saw the cover, I thought of Planet of the Apes. Then, as I began reading, I thought of Clint Eastwood in Any Which Way of Loose…but so much more twisted.
Adam Howe does write some in your face, way out there stories and I love spending time in his dark, wacky, perverted worlds.
Shane Moxie is a despicable person, but he does have his moments.
At times, I couldn’t keep myself from laughing out loud.
For all you cinephobes out there, One Tough Bastard by Adam Howe is full of movie and actor references.
I always have difficulty describing Adam Howe’s work. The characters are unique, original, crass, and even seem totally off the wall, at times, but when the ‘chimps’ are down, they are there, dodging bullets and knives.
One Tough Bastard by Adam Howe was not one of my favorite stories by him, but I did enjoy my visit.

GOODREADS BLURB
Shane Moxie: A washed-up 80s action star
who refuses to believe his best days are behind him…
Duke: A hyper-intelligent chimpanzee
and arguably the greatest animal actor of his generation…
Reunited for an anniversary movie screening, when Moxie and Duke are targeted by assassins, the feuding co-stars reluctantly join forces to smash an organized crime syndicate headed by an iconic German action star dealing death from his movie-themed fast food franchise.
One’s a big dumb animal
The other’s a chimpanzee
Shit just got real
From Adam Howe, writer of Die Dog or Eat the Hatchet and Tijuana Donkey Showdown, and the winner of Stephen King’s On Writing contest, comes a ‘buddy’ comedy in the tradition of Lethal Weapon, 48 Hours, and Tango & Cash, and a love letter to the gory glory days of 80s/90s action cinema. One Tough Bastard will turn you into a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus… just like its author.
