Thus we have Purity of Essence, their aptly titled third solo work. Their first, the bluesy Max can be had for a mere dollar at Beggar's Banquet in the Square, a comment on its popularity; and the second. Frogs, Sprouts, Clogs and Krauts didn't sell here either.

The Max Toledo Regiment attacked Caracoles with guns, mortars, tanks and war planes; our husbands defended themselves with stones, sticks and dynamite. By Monday afternoon most of the miners were dead, and the survivors either fled to the hills or houses in Villa Carmen. Army troops pursued them and killed some men in their homes, arrested and tortured others and bayonetted many. They also decapitated the wounded...
...instance, has become an East Anglia chicken farmer, in debt for 2,000 Rhode Island Reds. The directors of M16 and BND-West German intelligence-share a passion for cactus growing, exploring ways to XPD mealy bugs. Finally, Deighton delivers a telling pronouncement. The well-heeled film producer Max Breslow, a former SS officer, notes a wall of video games in a Los Angeles pizzeria. "U-Boat Commander" and "Blitzkrieg" produce a deafening flood of electronic babble. "This was the war we won, the war that came after the war." Deighton, in top form, wins this one as well...
