About the book
On screen, Danny Trejo is Hollywood’s favorite villain, a tough guy who has been shot, stabbed, hanged, and melted into goo more times than anyone can count. Off screen, his real story is far more powerful.
Raised in an abusive home, Danny battled heroin addiction, armed robbery, and prison sentences in places like San Quentin and Folsom. In solitary confinement, he found sobriety, spirituality, and a chance to change his life. From those dark beginnings, he became an unlikely Hollywood star, working alongside legends like Robert De Niro and Charles Bronson.
In Trejo, his raw and riveting memoir, he reveals the struggles behind the fame, his devotion to recovery communities, and the painful fight to heal his own family while helping others find redemption.

Our take
Iain M. Banks’s Use of Weapons (4.4 out of 5 stars on Amazon) is a ferociously intelligent Culture novel of intrigue, war, and buried secrets. Special Circumstances agent Zakalwe changes worlds to suit the Culture’s aims, but the truth of his past is darker than anyone imagines. A masterwork of wit, brutality, and haunting revelation.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Cheradenine Zakalwe is one of Special Circumstances’ most formidable agents, a man who reshapes the destinies of planets through diplomacy, deception, and calculated violence. Recruited from obscurity by Diziet Sma, he has become a master of the Culture’s shadowy interventions—though she still does not truly know the man she commands.
The drone Skaffen-Amtiskaw knows them both. It once saved Sma’s life in a bloody display of machine efficiency, yet it sees Zakalwe as a doomed soul beyond redemption. What neither Sma nor the drone fully understand are the horrors buried deep in his past.
In Use of Weapons, Iain M. Banks crafts a brilliant, unsettling tale of power, morality, and memory, where every act of heroism carries a shadow, and every weapon leaves its mark.
