Super Bolan #17
Blood Fever
A renegade mercenary calling himself the Major has cornered the violence-for-profit market, selling state-of-the-art death to anyone willing to pay. Now he's moving into a higher grade of merchandise: nuclear weapons - manufactured with stolen technology and kidnapped scientists.
On a terrorist mission in Colorado, Mack Bolan taps into the arms peddler's illicit organization and stalks the ruthless dealer from the Rockies to the Brazilian jungle stronghold.
The Executioner's war against terrorism is about to put the Major out of business.

He wrote mystery, action/adventure, science-fiction, crime fiction, suspense, short stories, nonfiction, and was a comic scriptwriter, poet, screenwriter, essayist, and metaphysical scholar. He published more than 125 books in his long career, and his books have been published in more than 25 foreign languages with close to two hundred million copies in print throughout the world.
After producing a number of science-fiction and mystery novels, Don launched in 1969 the phenomenal Mack Bolan: The Executioner, which quickly emerged as the original, definitive Action/Adventure series.

"Although The Executioner Series is far and away my most significant contribution to world literature, I still do not perceive myself as 'belonging' to any particular literary niche.

From the cover, you'd never guess that this book is set primarily in the rain forest, so I guess the cover artist was only given the first 10% of the book? Or maybe they chose this art to stand out against the rest of this portion of the series? Hard to say.
Also a central conceit of the story is that a man's wife and friend are unable to confidently recognize him while conversing openly in the same room for several minutes. Not impossible, but a bit of a strange one to hang our hat on.
The word of the day for this particular author is "herringbone" as a verb. As I said, there's not much snow for Bolan to ski, but he sure does get his mileage in herringboning his way around.

Superbolan #19: Assault by Mike Newton: I know a lot of people get Newton-tired of his formula, the reviews on mackbolan.com are not favourable to this entry but I really enjoyed this one: Bolan is sent to hunt down two Iranian terrorists who are meeting with members of the New York mob - this is a concerted plan to open a new drug pipeline from the Middle East in exchange for logistics support for terrorist activities in the US - the battle moves to Cyprus then Lebanon as Bolan crushes a secret terrorist organization bent on crippling the US - the action moves at a good pace here and the baddies are well fleshed out - an enjoyable read!
