Phoenix Force #47
Terror In Guyana
An apparant connection between the cold-blooded murder of an American senator's son and the mass suicide of an entire farming community in Guyana prompts Washington to take direct action.
The macabre deaths are reminiscent of the notorious People's Temple massacre of a decade earlier, but when Phoenix Force is parachuted onto the scene, they find that they are not up against the brainwashed members of a religious cult. A series of vicious ambushes, planned and executed with precision, point to a sophisticated enemy with military and political aims.
In the steamy jungles of the interior, the mission goes hard as the Force relies on guerrilla tactics to flush out a terrorist group that is dead set on reliving a Nazi legacy.

About the author
Jim Wilson
252 books15 followersJim Wilson could have simply dismissed himself as a competent piano tuner-technician, even an exceptional one. But he was and is so much more, and it took the sudden death of a dear friend and the encouragement of a legendary singer/songwriter to prove it to him.
From a broken home in Amarillo, Texas to a multi-award-winning recording artist, Jim Wilson’s journey is a captivating tale of showbiz glamour, personal tragedy, self-discovery, and dogged determination. And, as is typical of Jim Wilson, he’s turned out to be a pretty good wordsmith.
Tuned-In: Memoirs of a Piano Man is a page-turner and a life-changer. It’s a self-help book in the form of an autobiography. It is entertaining, revealing and full of lessons for musicians, fans, and all readers.
Jim Wilson’s life direction was set when he was given a guitar at age 7, then began composing songs at age 9. Soon after moving from West Texas to LA in his early 20’s, he gained a reputation as a respected piano technician, catering to the highest echelon of the music industry. Jim helped develop the first MIDI-adapter for acoustic piano in the 80’s, which became an instant hit with artists and studios around the world.
It was the shocking, untimely death of his closest friend that forced Jim to question the whole purpose of his life. With the love and support of his musical heroes – most significantly his friend and mentor, Dan Fogelberg -- Jim set out on a solo career, composing, recording and performing his signature style of piano-featured instrumentals.
Four of Jim’s ten recordings have hit the Billboard Top-20, he’s had two PBS specials, and his music has been streamed over 75 million times by fans around the globe. He was recently made a “Lifetime Member” of the Recording Academy. He enjoys scuba diving, skiing, pilot lessons, and mountain biking. Tuned In is Jim’s first book.

A spin off series from his Executioner books. This series follows several secondary characters that band together. Recommended

Another great installment by William Fieldhouse. He definitely has a formula but his books are always full of action and have some interesting historical tidbits thrown in. This time the team is asked to look into a Jonestown type massacre in Guyana that also involves a Senator's son. They find out that it is much more than that. It involves a plot by a son of a Nazi officer to take over Guyana by using the racial tensions between the Indian and black populations. Of course Phoenix Force decides that won't be a good thing and goes on the offensive.
Highly recommended for fans of the series or men's adventure in general. Fieldhouse is always a good time.
