Deadly Agent (Don Pendleton's Mack Bolan : Stony Man)

Germ warfare stories may be all the rage right now, what with Robert Ludlum(RIP)'s COVERT ONE series and also numerous others such as PANDORA'S CLOCK and THE COBRA EVENT, but what I liked best out of this book was the idea of a new Bohemian empire and its stronghold on a leaderless Europe. Czech superbaddie Joseph Ryba also plans to paralyse the US, so that their forces in Europe will be potentially weakened. Once again, MAck Bolan leads Able Team and Phoenix Force, his ultra-secret covert ops teams into action in Prague and also Plzen in the Czech republic to track down the bio-warfare weapons. The pacing and plotting are suitably fast-paced, with some blazing action scenes that would not be out of place in a Matthew Reilly novel actually! Don Pendleton seems to write a book a month - does this guy ever sleep? Overall, predictable but well worth tracking down.
