nonstop subscription

Chuck Norris is simply irresistible—whether he’s coldcocking his way through a bar full of bikers or wooing his ex back into bed with a single smile. In Silent Rage, Norris does something you don’t see every day: he ventures into sci-fi horror. As a small-town sheriff, he soon finds himself face to face with a deranged psycho-killer. And though fellow officers have already shot the slayer dead, local scientists test a serum on his corpse that brings him back to life—silent, bloodthirsty, and damn near invincible. Frankenstein’s monster meets the master of the roundhouse kick. Oh, you know which side we’re on. (Thomas Taborsky)
