Able Team #16
Rain Of Doom
In Beirut, an American voice speaks into the telephone:
"We'll never forget the Beruit bomb. Tell the mullahs they can run, they can hide, but the posse of the Apocalypse rides in the night. The payback will not quit until we have killed Khomeini. . . "

The second part of this 2-part Able Team sees the boys heading to Nicaragua then back to the war torn Bekaa Valley in Lebanon as they track the true missiles aimed at the US President.
They team up again with Powell, code named Marine, back as a CIA asset and working deep cover to track the missiles down. The action is hard and heavy in this one, with the boys blitzing across the hellzone of Lebanon in the midst of a three way war.
Gadgets gets some good plot time here, using his various electronic devices to listen in to the Soviet and Iranian plot of destruction. As well, he rewires the transmitters to make the missiles lock on to a target the other side would have preferred they didn’t.
The Team is determined to stop the missiles leaving the country, and as they race across the war zone in a stolen Syrian truck, they run into some obstacles they tackle with aplomb in the Able Team style - scorched earth!
A couple of major players say goodbyes in fiery fashion in this one as well, a good wrap up of another 2-parter from Frost! And how about that cover with Lyons one handing the “Konzak” auto shotty? His wrist must have been sore the next day!

Solid entry to the series, ends a long storyline told in multiple books. Lots of action and some nice dialogue among the team, a nice cast of supporting characters. Everything you would want really in a Able Team book, the overall story arcing over several books was more complicated then needed in my opinion but I guess you have to write something to hang the action on to.
Recommended for fans of men's adventure genre, not a bad standalone, it explains what it needs to and really the several book arc was too long anyway. If you are planning to read them all then this story starts back at book 13 would read at least from there in order.

A retread of book #15. It turns out that the last book was just a set up for this one. The Syrians gave the Iranians bombs to blow up the President of The USA. They were the wrong bombs. The set them up so they, The Syrians, with help from The Soviets could kill The President. So those that did not die in book 15, got there's here.
It seems that this series has hit a bit of a bump. The only saving grave for this was the attack on the bomb factory in Syria. Action-Packed. Hope we see new enemies and other settings in future books.
