[--Do you believe that women are the weaker sex? Do you feel that men are masters of the universe. Maybe, but what if women are tall as trees?
--There were a lot of things Damion didn't like about the planet; the moons were all wrong; the weather was very bad; and even the small women were over fifteen feet tall.]

[First released as an audiobook-on-tape; Publication Date: May 19, 1998, Series: Sounds Like Murder.
--Edgar Award-winning editor Otto Penzler presents "Sounds Like Murder" original, unabridged mysteries available on audio. 1 cassette / 110 minutes. Unabridged. Read by Barbara Rosenblat.
--When a student driver and her teacher hit and kill a woman crossing the street, it seems like a terrible accident. But when blood tests show that the teacher was under the influence of a sedative, and the woman killed turns out to be the teachers wife, things get complicated. An apparent accident turns into a crime, and Detective Karen Logan's discoveries hit a little too close to home.
--Ed McBain--author of the immensely popular 87th Precinct crime series--packs his plots with the kick of a .44. Driving Lessons--his entry in the Sounds Like Murder collection of original crime stories--is no exception. Written exclusively for audio production, it's a twisting tale of murder, deceit, and love gone bad that opens with an accident. One crisp autumn day, a woman steps off the curb in front of a student driver. It's the last mistake she ever makes. "She lay in the gutter some twenty feet from where a highway patrol car was just pulling in behind the Ford. Red coat open over a blue skirt and jacket. White blouse with a stock tie. Eyes closed. Hands at her sides, palms upward, fingers twitching." You might chalk it up to inexperience, just one more tragic blunder. But when a local detective starts digging she uncovers some troubling clues.
--Tony Award-winning Broadway actress Barbara Rosenblat gives an impressive performance, switching between character voices and straight narration convincingly, while moving the action forward without striving. "Driving Lessons" is a short and not-so-sweet treat by one of the master craftsmen working the crime story beat. (Running time: two hours, one cassette) -- George Laney.
--"This is old-fashioned story-telling at its best. Interesting and involving tales from some of the masters of mysteries."-- Michael Connelly, author of "Blood Work".]

In 'J', when a Rabbi is stabbed in a dark alley, a calling card is left splattered in blood. And in Storm, a dead girl is found in the snow, skewered with a ski pole.]

[*In both "Ladies" books McBain has taken excerpts from previous books and compiled them into one. The first book looks at some of the best storylines featuring Teddy Carella, Claire Townsend, Augusta Blair, and Eileen Burke. The second one (see below ↓) focuses on some of the more memorable femme fatales he created including the pregnant hooker, Hillary Scott, Virginia Dodge, and the Fat Lady].

[*A collection of 25 short stories wrote in his learning period (between 1952 and 1957).
---Ed McBain made his debut in 1956. In 2004, more than a hundred books later, he personally collected twenty-five of his stories written before he was Ed McBain. All but five of them were first published in the detective magazine Manhunt and none of them appeared under the Ed McBain byline. They were written by Evan Hunter (McBain's legal name as of 1952), Richard Marsten (a pseudonym derived from the names of his three sons: Richard, Mark and Ted), or Hunt Collins (in honor of his alma mater, Hunter College).
Here are kids in trouble and women in jeopardy. Here are private eyes and gangs. Here are loose cannons and innocent bystanders. Here, too, are cops and robbers. These are the stories that prepared Evan Hunter to become Ed McBain, and that prepared Ed McBain to write the beloved 87th Precinct novels. In individual introductions, McBain tells how and why he wrote these stories that were the start of his legendary career.]

[Tales of Tomorrow - Appointment on Mars (1952, episode in 4 parts?)
written by S.A. Lombino, directed by Don Medford, starring: Brian Keith (credited as Robert Keith Jr.) — Jack, William Redfield — Bart, Leslie Nielsen — Robbie. Martian narration by Sam Locante & Mark Allen.
--Three astronauts arrive on Mars, sponsored by a mining company who will share the profits with them Illness, paranoia and other problems develop until all three are dead - but what caused it?
--Three astronauts have landed on Mars and discover enough Uranium to make them rich. When one of them becomes paranoid that Martians are watching them, he is ridiculed by one of the others and they start fighting amongst themselves. Having become their own worst enemies they kill each other, much to the amusement of two off-screen Martians who are watching them.]
[Note1: This plot does not match the story 'What price Venus?' at all. The teleplay - also written by S.A. Lombino - seems to have been "inspired" by the Hunter (under the by-line S. A. Lombino) story, written for Fantastic Universe Magazine.
Note2: “Appointment on Mars,” aired June 22, 1952, a chilling tale whose writer, S. A. Lombino, pretty obviously ripped off the basic situation from "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", only instead of Mexico he set it on Mars. Three astronauts — Robbie (Leslie Nielsen), Bart (William Redfield) and Jack (Brian Keith, billed as “Robert Keith, Jr.”) — have flown to Mars on a spaceship built for them by an international mining conglomerate in exchange for half of whatever valuable minerals they discover on the Red Planet. They discover treasure, all right — Robbie’s Geiger counter starts clicking away like the percussion section of an Afro-Cuban band and they realize Mars has enormous deposits of uranium — and they stake a claim, but pretty soon Robbie’s rabbit’s foot mysteriously disappears and he starts tearing into his comrades about it. (It was a felicitous touch on Lombino’s part to make the scientist of the crew also the superstitious one.]

[Review of "Poodle Springs" by Raymond Chandler and Robert B. Parker.
In a review of a posthumous novel by Raymond Chandler, McBain writes that Robert B. Parker, who edited and completed the book, "has taken the slimmest of beginnings [and] fashioned from it a rattling good mystery."]

[In a profile written at a time when McBain had several bestsellers under different names, Lewis Nichols writes "Mr. McBain can knock out a mystery in a month, pacing himself at twenty pages a day. Hunter is slower, dawdles along, takes all the time he likes."]
