Mack Bolan is on a rescue mission with almost impossible odds. His directive comes straight from the Oval Office: find and recover two hostages, kidnapped to blackmail the embattled head of a civil-war torn province. Original.
This book has everything I love in a Mack Bolan novel---fast pace, action, and more than that (because let's face it, most Bolan offerings have those two elements in spades), a mission that is personal for Bolan, as opposed to being dictated by Mommy Brognola. It even has a decent denouement, something so often lacking in Bolan books.So why only 4 stars? Well ... certain elements of te bok--which I don't want to reveal specifically for fear of spoiling the story--were quite contrived, particularly the climax. Only in the world of Mack Bolan would someone have a gun but use it as a club so there can be a great firhgt scene, rather than jhust shooting their enemy and being done with it. Ah well ... if you can forgive little things like that, this book is quite an enjoyable read.
