Bringing the Mobs of Las Vegas to Your Reading Club

Rednecks are people, too, or so bestselling author Bob Miller says. The trouble is people like to laugh at the antics of rednecks, even other rednecks. While Miller’s a redneck if there ever was one, no one is laughing. One of Bob Miller’s accomplishments, if you can call it that, is Google rates him #1 for searches for, America’s most controversial author. We don’t know of anyone who has read one of Miller’s books or watched one of his videos on YouTube that will disagree with Google’s evaluation. Like one reviewer wrote, “If you didn’t like Hunter S. Thompson, Chalmers Johnson or Henry Bukowski, you’d hate Bob Miller. Guaranteed!” Miller was a helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War. After he returned home a book from his Vietnam diary was published and titled, Kill Me if You Can, You SOB. It is unquestionably a knife in the throat of US foreign policy, but it struck a chord with all but the flag wavers and chest beaters. Miller’s new book, Kill Me If You Can Epilogue, is by no means a giant step in a new direction. As a matter-of-fact, it’s a story that has played out again and again by battlefield harden veterans the world over. Nevertheless, Miller’s hard as nails approach will keep you entertained. The little book is a quick read and we promise you will not need a dictionary. I can’t believe I said that, anyway, as another editor said, “The trouble with Bob Miller’s books is you find yourself telling it like it is.” The book is a continuation from where the movie Casino trails off. The basic premise of the story is of a Vietnam War veteran pitting his might against the mob bosses of Las Vegas. The book revolves around a character with the author’s namesake. Our hero returns home from the Vietnam War and accepts the only job offered – a job flying mob bosses around. Things seemed to be going well for a while, but all good things end sooner or later. When Miller’s services were no longer needed, true to the mob spirit, the bosses threw a farewell party for him. However, he did not show up for this party and in the process his wife is murdered by the mobsters. When he confronts them, he is told that it was a routine precaution and not something he should take personally. The difference between contract killers and mob assassins is a contract killer's only goal is to complete the contact as quickly and quietly as possible; the mob assassin's job is to make you wish you were dead and then see to it that your wish comes true. The fact that the mob’s assassin played around a bit before killing Miller’s wife and her little dog would lead to the ultimate act of revenge. This new book of Bob Miller’s, Kill Me If You Can Epilogue, will entertain despite not having clichéd scenes of sex, high speed car chases and futuristic technology thrown in every few pages. It is quite the page turner and will have surprises packed in at every corner.
