Slayground
SWAMP FEVERS
National security is on the line when a senator's daughter disappears from her Florida college. The leader of the cult responsible is desperate to boost his sect's influence by gaining access to the sensitive government information the girl possesses…even if she dies in the process. Needing to act fast, but quietly, the White House sends Mack Bolan deep into the swamplands.
Bolan's mission is to rescue the girl before she gives up any secrets, but infiltrating the leader's stronghold is no easy feat. Using the humid, marshy landscape to their advantage, the cult has laced the swamps with armed guards and deadly traps. And when Bolan discovers the sect's most dangerous weapons threaten the mind, not the body, he realizes he'll need more than guns and brawn to win this battle. But the Executioner has put his faith in justice, and he won't quit until his enemies are converted.

A cult has recruited/kidnapped the daughter of a senator, and is using her to get top secret information. Mack Bolan has to waste some wimps.
Pretty average for this era of The Executioner.

Mack Bolan goes to rescue a Senator's daughter from a cult that has set up housekeeping in an abandoned theme park.
1) Why Bolan? Why isn't the secret service going in, along with a SWAT team? Sure, they don't know how much she knows of her father's work, but still, doesn't that make him a blackmail threat?
2) We never find out if she was targeted by the cult, or they found out who she was after she was recruited.
3) When did she turn on them? She clearly was a believer at one point, but at the start of the book she was now trying to escape. When did she change her mind about them?
4) Just what did the cult leader have on the guy who runs the area so that the guy protects them. It is stated in the book that there is blackmail going on, but what?
5) Where the hell did this cult come from in the first place?
The plot ends up being so murky that I really can't give it a good rating. The action scenes were good, but seriously, the deus ex machina ending was worthy of an eye-roll, and the plot hole were far too many.

This book was pretty good, and Andy Boot done a good job trying to live up to Don Pendleton, but fell short in so many ways. I know this book is fiction but it's set in Florida at least have a real ton or county instead of a made up one. Pendleton also used real places. The characterization was okay but not nearly as well as Don Pendleton did. Over all though it was a decent read.
