A very good book. I just can't believe he has his picture in it. Alot of the mongols know what he looks like, but their are alot of persons that would use taking him out to attempt to gain entry into the Mongols.

They are referring to the 1992 cult classic "Beyond The Law" starring charley sheen. That is a totally different story though. Pretty similar in nature except the story was aboutATF agent Dan Black aka Dan Saxon in the movie. Here's the link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103805/plotsummary
Oh, okay.... I remember watching that movie a few years ago....

Good movie...

I bought it brand new a couple of years ago off ebay for around $10 including shipping on DVD. Well worth it. It was pretty decent.

Fantastic reading! I'll pass on the movie, they're never as good as the book.

I bet they'd have a hard time finding him, that is if they can even find him at all. I am sure his name is no longer William Queen and it's not easy to find someone if you can't pin their location down by name.Not saying it's impossible, but highly unlikely and it would tale a lot of effort to accomplish.Also, he probably looks totally different today than he did back in 2000 when he had long hair, a beard and biker clothes.

I didn't know they were making a movie out of it, I hope the movie doesn't ruin the story.

Hollywood usually ruins a good story for $$$.

I liked the book, but I'm not a big fan of Billy. In my mind he is a hypocrite. His stomach gets turned because a member doesn't take care of his kids, but yet Billy's own parents shipped him off. The Mongols were some nasty people, but think about all the laws Billy broke during the investigation. He talks proudly at several points in the book about flying down the highway at top speed zipping in and out of traffic. I also couldn't help but notice that at the beginning there really wasn't a lot of serious crime being committed by the gang. That changed when the chapter president was off parole. If one man had that much control over the gang, it seems to me that an effort could have been made to keep this gang in the relm of drunk, loud mouths.
