The Last of the Titans by Darryl D. Bowman is one of the most unusual books in the espionage or action genres I have ever read. I picked it up, thinking it might be a story from Greek mythology. Then I thought it referred to Titans from a specific time in American history...and it does, sort of. But the Titan of the story is actually a missile, a relic of the Cold War and a testament to how crazy and surreal the world of espionage can become. There are times when this novel reads like a very interesting memoir of someone who was present at the beginning of the Cold War or present at the creation of the CIA. It is the story of Kirk Cull, a man who has lost all of the people he loves most in the world and is seeking answers, and hopefully some kind of closure. It is also the story of Donner Bly, who was there with General William J. Donovan when the OSS was dissolved and the CIA received its charter.
In The Last of the Titans, Darryl D. Bowman weaves back and forth between the sad story of Kirk Cull set here in the present, and Donner Bly as he lives through and helps shape the Cold War. The history is accurate and the characters totally believable. There are no impossible shoot-outs or improbable heroics. The characters are strong, patriotic, and very determined to win at all costs, which makes for some very questionable decisions and very good reading.
