“Shirtless In Hollywood”, “Shadow Affairs” and “Hit Hard-Die Last When Action Was Real” by Matthias Hues Book Reviews

Action movie star Matthias Hues (I Come In Peace/Dark Angel, No Retreat No Surrender 2, Cage, Kickboxer 2:  The Road Back, Star Trek VI:  The Undiscovered Country, TC 2000, Digital Man, The Last Kumite, just to name a few) has written three books as of this typing.

The first is his autobiography called “Shirtless In Hollywood”.  It traces the steps of how he ultimately ended up in the movie business and many adventures and relationships he has had over the decades.

His book “Shadow Affairs” could easily be an action movie, in which a military and CIA sniper is left for dead, but ultimately survives and ends up being hunted because he knows something that he shouldn’t.  If he ever does this movie, I would definitely like to see it.

And his book “Hit Hard-Die Last:  When Action Was Real” is a little more in-depth on his acting career and many stories about certain movies and shows he has done over the decades.

If you are a fan of action and/or of Matthias, or even just a fan of the underdog or of someone who chased a dream and is still chasing and living it, then you should check out Matthias Hues’ books.
