The counterterrorism battle shifts to Southeast Asia in the second explosive Superhawks thriller from Mack Maloney, bestselling author of the Wingman series
A terrorist cell with direct links to al-Qaeda’s leader captures Singapore’s Tonka Tower Hotel, one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. The terrorists contact dozens of news organizations so the world can witness its destruction. News copters surround the building just as the Superhawks enter—rappelling from military choppers, guns blazing, disarming the terrorists’ bombs seconds before they detonate. It would seem that kudos are due, but the Superhawks are supposed to be top secret. The Pentagon bigwigs are steamed and send in a team of Navy SEALs to wrangle with the Superhawks. But al-Qaeda is hatching a new plot involving Stinger missiles. Can the Superhawks stop it in time? Or will the sprawling American military bureaucracy trip itself up before they even have a chance to try?

The second Superhawks adventure is another action-packed black-ops military story with a rather right-winged ultra-patriotic flavor written in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. It's rather unrealistic in spots, but it's a very fast-paced book with some nicely realized characters and some good humor. Nothing high-brow here, but I enjoyed it.
