Deep Attack

The entire Mack Bolan series is simply pulp action. It is a big strong hero who knows what has to be done and he goes and does it. He doesn't have many weaknesses and he destroys everything that stands in his way. Those are the rules. The plots of these stories are often thin, some of the characters two dimensional and the action a little over the top. But that is what it is all about. I do not go into reading one of these expecting " Tinker, taylor soldier spy." These books are not gritty true to life spy drama. They are action/adventure with a healthy does of action. But it is refreshing when they come up with a good concept, where the plot isn't too weak and the action moves with the plot and not as a subsitution for one. I found this story one of the better ones of the series. I hope that they do more of this calibure.

Most Executioner books I've read tend to be low on suspense, with lots of violence which is mind-numbing, and a plot that gets lost in all te falling bodies. Bolan simply roams through the carnage completely unscathed and never in any real danger. The writer of this book, David Robbins, captures the razor's edge which the Executioner straddles with each mission in a gripping, suspenseful way which left me turning pages like mad. Okay, so the plot was a little thin in its foundation; the encounters and exciting adventures along the way more than made up for it. Check out the way in which Bolan smuggles explosives into the bad guys' lair. I can't recommend this book highly enough to anyone who wants some mindless, violent, good, clean fun. :-)
