Breakout

Mack Bolan the Executioner #423

by Nick Pollotta, Don Pendleton (Series Creator)

FREEDOM BROKERS

When notorious killers and drug lords break out of a maximum security penitentiary, it soon becomes clear that these weren't escapes; they were highly organized rescues. A covert organization is selling prison "insurance," promising to bust criminals out of jail for a hefty price. With the justice system in shambles, the President is on the verge of declaring martial law—until Mack Bolan steps in.

Undercover as a rival insurance salesman, Bolan hires his own team of con men. Establishing himself as a major player in the ''criminal relocation'' business should bring him face-to-face with the operation's kingpin. He'll need more than his war skills to destroy this ruthless businessman. But when the Executioner sets up shop, he won't back down until he obliterates the competition.

Reviews

[Lionel Taylor · Rating 3 out of 5]

In this story, Bolan must confront a criminal organization called Castle which is gaining a reputation in the criminal underworld by breaking out high profile prisoners and faking their deaths. Castle is led by a giant named Johnson who is determined to destroy anyone who gets in his way. In order to take them down, Bolan must assemble a crew and infiltrate himself into the criminal underworld to get Castle's attention. What ensues is the action longtime reader have come to expect from the series. Like so many of these stories, I wish that the author had another 50 pages so the story would not seem so rushed at the end but this is a good story with a few interesting twists. Anyone who likes action-packed escapist fiction will enjoy this book.
