March 24, 2026This book feels like it should have been labelled a Stony Man title rather than a Superbolan. Able Team, Grimaldi, Cowboy Kissinger and even Barbara Price have big roles in this book as well as the myriad of bad guys.
Bolan is tracking some saboteurs of arms manufacturers and gets caught up in a three way war with arms dealers and a fanatical Native American militant group.
Unfortunately, Striker seems to have a secondary or even tertiary role in this book, he is wounded twice and is only given maybe 25% of the book as the action is divided among the many characters.
It was all a bit hard to follow until things are wrapped up at the end, but between the Stony Man operatives, Bolan, double crossing femme fatale, triple crossing security specialists, and over the top cop cock blocking the team, and the native terrorists, this book has way too many characters in it to keep track of, and their motivations seem paper thin at a glance.
A few good action set pieces doesn’t make up for a rather convoluted and plodding superbolan.
