In San Francisco's Chinatown an Oriental crime network called TRIO is battling the international underworld syndicate known as MERGE for control of the West Coast's heroin dollars. While the modern-day cannibals feast on the flesh of innocent people caught in the cross fire of a vicious gang war, Phoenix Force launches a campaign to put the gangsters on a diet of death.
Phoenix Force is a series of action-adventure novels first published in 1982 by American Gold Eagle publishers. It is a spin-off of the Executioner series created by Don Pendleton.
Phoenix Force is one of two neutralization teams working for Stony Man, a top-secret anti-terrorist organization. As with The Executioner, the Phoenix Force novels have been written by a succession of authors under the pseudonym Gar Wilson. In 1991, Gold Eagle combined Phoenix Force with another Executioner spin-off series, Able Team, and launched the Stony Man book series, which is still being published as of 2005.
Another ripping action packed Phoenix Force by William Fieldhouse. The Feast entails that an old enemy, MERGE, a group made up of Colombian drug cartels and Mexican and Italian mafias not only have The Force on it's back, now TRIO, a gang of Asian yakuza and Chinese tongs want to take over the drug action in the USA. Needless to say, the action flows thick and fast here. The only draw back was to much back story. Other than that, this was one hell of a book.
Say it's more of a 3.5 but its a solid read. It's typical of the series as in its basically just one long battle scene. Though I liked what plot there is which is basically the force is caught between two large multinational crime organizations fighting over territory. This happens while they try to stop the heroin trade in San Francisco.
Recommended for fans of the series or men's adventure genre. It has everything you want in the genre even a ninja joins up with the force to help out.
the 5 men of Phoenix Force find themselves caught between 2 warring factions MERGE who they've battled before and a new many tentacled syndicate calling themselves TRIO but whatever the flavor the Phoenix pros are ready to dish up a hard and fast death meal Welcome to the Feast
These books are fun to read. Lots of action, some comedy and interesting facts interspersed throughout. Most of the action here was martial arts, close quarters combat.
A good read that brings TRIO & MERGE both to face the team in San Francisco and also introduces a new character that will often help the team out, John Trent.
