Super Bolan #31
Onslaught
The Brotherhood - an alliance between a North American Mafia family and a South American drug cartel- could spell doom for a newly free Russia. Fearing that a sudden crime wave might shift the balance of power back to Communism, the U.S. President sends in the man who single-handedly had come close to destroying the Mob in America. A man who represents ultimate justice, within or beyond the law.
With his cover blown by a leak traceable to the highest levels of Russian security, Mack Bolan is forced to go solo, with Mafia hitmen and cartel killers burning a trail of bullets and blood from Moscow to the Black Sea coast. But the Executioner's commitment to run his prey to ground and out of business stands firm - against an enemy with limitless resources and stakes big enough to wage all-out war.

Glasnost has happened, the Berlin Wall is down, and now Mack Bolan is on loan to the newly elected democratic Russian government. Times have changed indeed.
An international troika of crime is setting up shop in the new Russian republic, bringing a steady stream of drugs, guns and prostitutes in a he country. The American mafia, South American Cartels and crooked Russian officials are working together to undermine the new government, and in a bid to keep Russia a democracy, the US government lends them this best asset: The Executioner!
This is well paced superbolan, definitely one of the better ones I’ve read recently, Jerry Van Cook delivers an old school style Bolan banger, with the big guy smashing hardsites across the Russian republic. The supporting cast of baddies is well written as well, but maybe a little heavy handed with Pool, who thinks he’s the reincarnation of Wild Bill Hickock.
Bolan uses a combination of wits, stealth, and ass kicking to bring closure to this new crime syndicate.
