The Master of D.E.A.T.H. returns with another scheme for breaking down the governments who opposed him, this time planning to use an upcoming space shuttle launch as a way to destroy the U.S. space program and set the seeds for his further plans.
Jerry Ahern (born Jerome Morrell Ahern) was a science fiction and action novel author best known for his post apocalyptic survivalist series The Survivalist. The books in this series are heavy with descriptions of the weapons the protagonists use to survive and prosecute a seemingly never-ending war amongst the remnants of the superpowers from pre-apocalypse times.
Ahern was also a firearms writer, who published numerous articles in magazines such as Guns & Ammo, Handguns and Gun World.
Jerry Ahern passed away on July 24, 2012 after a long struggle with cancer.
Ahern also released books under pseudonym Axel Kilgore.
Dan Track in space ! Yes Track is battling the Master Of D.E.A.T.H. head on, tooth and nail. The Master was thwarted last time out so he takes his vengeance out on Track and everyone close to him. No one is spared. The Master is going to blow up two space shuttles while in orbit. Track is sent up to stop it.
This outing was a little bit of a let down. The outer space action is pretty disappointing. Also, it takes almost 3/4 of the book to even get into space. There are good parts as always. But this book sees Jerry Ahern put more emphasis on the characters relationships with each other. Not bad, but more thrills would of been nice.
