Kill School

Able Team #9

by Dick Stivers

Dispatched to return fascist commander Col. Roberto Quesada to face the televised spectacle of trial in the United States, Able Team drops into the free-fire zone of El Salvador's Morazan province.

A Salvadoran army commando, obsessed with revenge for his " disappeared" father and brother, guides Able Team across a landscape of terror and atrocity.

Then a coded radio transmission from Washington, D.C. betrays Able Team. Battling against Stalinist assassins, the three North Americans pursue Quesada into the lost world of the Honduran mountains - where Pan-American Nazis are training the shock troopers of a New World Reich.

[Tim Deforest · Rating 4 out of 5]

Able Team is sent to El Salvador to bring a Fascist leader back to the States for trial. They find evidence tying the bad guy into a larger Fascist conspiracy uncovered in a previous book in the series.

Eventually, Able Team has in infiltrate a fortress to nab the villain. This evolves into an intense, excellently-written action scene with the good guys crashing out of the fortress in a captured jeep.

The Fascist leader flees to ANOTHER hard site in Honduras. Along with a dozen allies and some air support, Able Team tries again to get inside. This leads to yet another great action scene, culminating in Jack Grimaldi (a pilot and reoccuring character in the novels) dropping huge bladders of gasoline on the fortress from a DC-3 while Able Team and allies make a run for it.

This is a very strong entry in the series.

The team is in El Salvador going after Quesada ,a fascist commander, who got away from them before. They are to capture him and bring him to the States for public trial for killing Americans. However they have someone working against them by warning Quesada. They end up having to follow him into Honduras, to a base of Nazi terrorists full of hundreds of troops.

Recommended, G.H. Frost is one of the better authors of these and this one is also a solid read. Plenty of action and keeps your interest throughout.

The team is after an old enemy in this, the ninth book in the series. A trek down to El Salvador finds every manner of rebel and Salvador army squads fighting it out. There is a school for Pan American Nazis, Commies, and all sorts of sects that Able Team knock out.

I wish there was more of the school in this one. It comes at the end of the book. The action is intense and pretty graphic. Always a good read.

A spin off series from his Executioner books. This series follows several secondary characters that band together. Recommended
