I decided to read this because my mom loved these books. She read all that she found t News Den. It's done closed down too. I couldn't get into the book though.
Mac Bolan aka the executioner is trying to find out who took a ship of nucles. He is good at blending into different crime familes and knows his stuff. The fighting was good only part I liked besides Saengkeo.
Saengkeo wants to know who killed her brother. She'll stop at nothing even take on the leader of another crime family. She had Yang's ship Goldfish blown up to prove its not good to go against her or try blackmail her.
It's book one of three, but got no plan to finish series at moment. It bored me and skimmed a lot.

very good well written part one of a trilogy. I liked the authors choice to show the thinking of each primary subject with of course Bolan pulling apart the evidence.
