The Gantlet Brothers #4
The Specialists
Rock Musician, Sly Gantlet, and the global instigator known as Dillon are the best of friends and the bitterest of rivals. Contained herein are three of their most over the top, insane, and life altering adventures:
Dead Beat in Khusra: When Sly Gantlet decides to mix business with pleasure and takes the charming and drop dead gorgeous Princess Sathyra on a solo tour to Khusra, he finds himself the target of Sathyra’s jealous ex-flame, Dillon!
Dead Beat in the Gobi Desert: Dillon and Sly steal a biological weapon from a Russian military base, shortly before being shot down in the Gobi Desert. Soon they find themselves caught between a mysterious woman, a howling blizzard, Russian special forces, and a group of marauding cannibals!
The Specialists: Enlisted by the American Intelligence Machine, Sly and Dillon and a motley crew of coerced killers must stop delivery of a special bomb designed to wipe out America’s electrical grid and bring about massive starvation. Up to their necks in blood and bullets, they find all paths blocked, and begin to suspect they were never meant to return from their mission alive.

I have read a few Dillon books before but this is the first Joel Jenkins book I have read. Dillon is a great character to have in your pulp adventure but Sly Gantlet is an excellent foil.
This is three stores in one. My favourite was the final one, The Specialists. Twists, turns, solid characters and brilliant action. Loved it!
The first two were solid affairs with action and edge of the seat thrills and spills but the final story was a multi thread must read.
Pulp adventure of the highest quality.

This was an excellent book, but I have to be honest, I had a hard time getting into this book. It wasn't that the first two stories were bad, I just couldn't get in to them. Then, towards the end of the second story, Dead Beat in the Gobi Desert, I caught a second wind, or the stories picked up, or something, and then I couldn't put the book down. Derrick Ferguson has got to be one of the great writers of today, New Pulp or otherwise. He simply knows how to write a story that grabs a hold of the reader and forces him to continue reading. If Dillon isn't the best character in New Pulp today, I'm not sure who is. Then, add Joel Jenkins' Sly Gantlet character to the mix and the action, adventure, and adrenaline levels are maxed out. I just hope this is isn't the last we see of Sly Gantlet. The Specialists is another New Pulp masterpiece that you shouldn't miss.
