Lethal Compound

Mack Bolan the Executioner #372

by Chuck Rogers

U.S. intelligence agents become aware of a wealthy American's plans only when they intercept the chatter of Chinese spies. It is the billionaire's intention to lead a secret archaeological expedition into the mountainous border triangle between Afghanistan, China and Tajikistan. Mack Bolan is inserted within the group as they head into an area that is a hotbed of opium production.

Traveling undercover with a group of foreign mercenaries hired to act as private security, Bolan knows that priceless treasure isn't the only thing hidden in the mountains of Tajikistan. And when they come under attack by Russian fighter jets, it becomes apparent to the Executioner that the unstable region is about to blow.

[Monica Willyard Moen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Have you ever read a book that is written well from a technical point of you but that just doesn’t grab you with its plot? That’s how I have experienced this book. For reasons I don’t yet understand, I am left cold by stories about seeking treasure or incredible archaeological finds of past dynasties. These things leave me feeling bored and disinterested. I feel this way about most books along those lines, not just this one. I have a marked preference for the books in the series that are about rescuing hostages, prisoners of war, or other groups of oppressed people. I like reading about ancient dynasties, so I don’t know why the idea of a treasure hunt or archaeological dig to discover these things leaves me feeling cold. This book is a solid entry in this series, and others may enjoy it more than I did.

Big, crazy fun

Very enjoyable story by Chuck Rogers. Loved the characters and how he worked in Alexander the Great. You can always count on Chuck for crazy wild fun.
