Exciting story, great pacing and very well written. Bolan is called on to eliminate one of his oldest friends. A friend who has since turned into a religious madman based in the jungles of Africa with plans to cleanse the world with Ebola. Lots of typical violent and bloody action that is expected in an Executioner novel with just a splash of humor to balance the gritty action.

Man! What a book. Great story, plenty of action and even a smatter of funny. Really well done. I love what Mike Newton brought to the series and character play.

I really enjoyed this edition from the late Mike Newton I must say he usually hits them out of the park.
