Product Description

Deep inside Mexican cartel country, a dirty bomb is making its way north across the U.S. border. The location and eventual destination remain uncertain, but Mack Bolan is closing in on the radioactive caravan with luck and some dubious associates as his only allies. Bolan's orders are to find and take out the immediate threat, but he soon discovers that his mission doesn't end there--it's just the beginning of a bigger, grimmer picture that involves an international New Age cult. Across the globe, a self-styled guru has enlisted a massive army of disaffected Soviet and South American veterans as his shock troops in a new and apocalyptic war--against the world.

Product Description

The city of Split, Croatia, is a multinational den of thieves, where conspiracy, corruption and criminal cells rival for profit and power. Divergent trails of bootlegged intelligence and black-market rumors put Mack Bolan on its violent streets, looking for a prize in stolen tech masterminded by a Russian mob oligarch and his Triad assassins. Forging a trail of blood and bodies, the Executioner unleashes his own brand of hellfire to stop global traffickers from doing what they do best--selling death. Fully aware of the mounting odds on all fronts, Bolan is betting this mission on surviving. Again.

Interception
I received the book ok, but I wish I had known that I could have picked it up in the book store because the next book you won't be sending me for a month or more is now available. If I could I would cancell my prepayments for the other books and just pick them out when they come out instead of waiting. I would just order the earlier books I don't have from you.
Would you get back to me on this matter.

Good insight.
I read Don Pendleton's books starting with the beginning of the Executioner series. Reading about his processes, life, and views was interesting. It's unfortunate Don passed away, but this is a fitting legacy for anyone interested in Don, or in action-adventure series writing. For those considering a career in writing this is an inside, sincere look at the dedication and passion needed to overcome obstacles and persevere towards success. ... Read more

"PUERTO RICO MAY BECOME A TERRORIST BEACHHEAD FOR U.S. TARGETS"


This Super Bolan #131 was written by Jon Guenther, an author of over two dozen GOLD EAGLE books, from years 2000 through 2010. Someone at Worldwide Publishing must have their minds on Puerto Rico for in July, 2009, Executioner (Mack Bolan) book #368 Crisis Nation also showcased the U.S. Protectorate. Both this book, Diplomacy Directive and Crisis Nation show Puerto Rico to have great upheaval in certain areas, to the extent of a civil war waiting in the shadows.

This Super Bolan 131, Diplomacy Directive can be split into two distinct books, the first running 158 pages or so takes place mainly in San Juan, with the second from pages 159-315 taking place in a Georgia swamp area (Okefenokee) within the U.S. proper.The plot of both sections of the book deal with a Lebanese backed operation, funded by Al Qaeda, attempting civil war within Puerto Rico so as to use Puerto Rico as a staging point post civil war for a new war against the United States, similar to the "Missles of October) Cuban situation of the late 1950s early 1960s.Mixed up in this is an old score to be settled by Hezbollah against the CIA and its operative from 20 years back.

This had to be a very tough book to write and I don't envy Jon Guenther the hard effort needed to put this book into print. I began reading these GOLD EAGLE books back in the mid-1980s, having 100s on my shelves, and my feeling is that most of these adventure stories are pretty much middle of the road 3-star efforts, with much over coverage of a very few story lines.For my opinion, this book is a little better than the run of the mill Super Bolans, especially considering the complex elements of the story and some new ground covered.Though the book begins at a slow pace it does pick up and interestingly we find a Mack Bolan taking care of a couple of people with EXP (expedient demise, with prejudice) as we seldom see him do. He acts very hard in this never ending war on terrorism.Following face-to-face encounters, a couple of the bad guys receive a bullet to the head as coup de grace to end their terrorist careers. Also the scenes of Bolan being drugged is something we seldom or ever see, requiring Jack Grimaldi to actually save the big guys bacon. Jon Guenther has stepped into new territory in this book in at least a couple places.

This book though worth 4-stars to me is a long read.As I have stated it is almost like getting 2 books for the price of one.Possibly it would have worked better as a Part One and Part Two book in the Executioner line rather than a Super Bolan.That has been done several times before and works well.Also this Super Bolan may be more for the guy or gal like me who reads everything GOLD EAGLE issues on our man in black. Still it is very much a book worth the time and read.

As Mack would say: "Stay frosty, live Large."

Semper Fi.

Diplomacy Directive
SuperBolan #131 was written by Jon Guenther.
Uniformly mediocre from start to finish, but it gets so tedious and absurd near the end that I didn't bother finishing the last thirty pages. A first in a Mack Bolan book for me.

The plot is average for one of these books, although conveyed in a confusing manner; but it could have been interesting - Peurto Rico as a 21st century Cuba, Bolan fighting terrorists in the Okeefenokee Swamp, etc. Unfortunately little or no effort is devoted to atmosphere or character. It's humorless, and suspenseless - we are told that characters are in danger, but there is no tension in the story. One of the escapes in particular is so ridiculous, you could argue that the book is not humorless afterall. Bolan simply has to dial his cell phone every other chapter to get the full resources of the US Govt dropped in his lap on a moment's notice. Stony Man Farm is always working the problem in the background. Jack Grimaldi is always hovering overhead in a chopper. Boring.

Way too much time spent on the author's high school concepts of a budding romance between the two annoying reporters. These scenes are cringe-inducing, but luckily are always cut short by grenades and machinegun fire. It's not good when you're hoping two of the main characters get fragged. Speaking of action, he loves using medical detail as often as possible: intestines protruding, 5th lumbar severed, etc. It's clunky and distancing. The author probably thinks it makes his work 'gritty'.

The plot hinges on the US cutting an arms deal with Hezbollah to get them to fight the KGB twenty years ago. Are you serious? ... Read more

Disappointed
Let me start off by recommending that when you advertize a new book that you include the number of the book in the series. I beleive that most readers remember the number of the last book purchased rather than the title.
I have the complete series of Stony Man and was disappointed with this issue. It was far fetched to beleive so many of the chareters could be so seriously injured as in this book and unable to preform their duties. The team members are proffessional and would not have been so easly injured. I could accept 1 or 2 members being injured but not the amount as contained in this issue. Readers expect to see the units working as a complete team, not havinghalf the chareters sitting on the sideline. Each member brings his own personality to the book. ... Read more
