False Front

Super Bolan #101

by Jerry Van Cook, Don Pendleton (Series Creator)

Unabridged. Intelligence circles are buzzing with increased chatter about an imminent terrorist strike against the United States. Now, new intel points to a Philippine-based organization that has just kidnapped a dozen American missionaries. Hal Brognola calls in Mack Bolan with a threefold mission: capture the terrorist leader and extract more information by any means, free the missionaries, and stop whatever hell is about to be unleashed on innocent Americans. Bolan's got solid support, but the enemy remains elusive, as does the bigger picture...until the Executioner's relentless assault exposes a grand conspiracy as grim as it is all too likely: a mastermind pulling the strings of global terror for profit.

Reviews

[Monica Willyard Moen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my favorite book in this series because I like the rich descriptions, complex characters, and the use of exotic bladed weapons, not just guns in battle. I also like the theme of how character or lack there of is forged under pressure. If I were going to buy a book from this series as an introduction to the Bolan adventures, this would be the book I'd choose.

Secret bad guy.

The story was a nail bite to the very end. It kept .e guessing as to who they " secret " bad guy was.

I really this story Super Bolan a little slow so it can fill pages but this one moved along a good pace the end in New York was well done along with the end of the real man behind the scenes

This book is identical in every way to every other Executioner/Mack Bolan book I've worked on. Bloodthirst Muslims kidnap warm and generous Christian Westerners, behead some of them, then get slaughtered by Bolan. I like the part where he shoots the terrorist, splattering brain-matter all over the second one, who is then infected with the first one's HIV. That man then chooses to join Bolan and redeem himself because of his death sentence.

Wait, that might have been another Mack Bolan. Doesn't really matter anyway.

This is another no star book that gets one anyway because Goodreads is biased in favor of bad books.
