Death Hunt

Able Team #50

by Dick Stivers, Rod Pennington (Contributor), Don Pendleton (Series Creator)

Brilliant and totally evil, Herbert Queensbury views the world as one big playground. From exploding toys to fatal war games, the warped wizard plays fair, but always wins ... and the losers lose big. Only one man ever broke The Gamesmaster's winning streak - Carl Lyons.

Now it's rematch time. The game: hide-and-seek. The stakes: enough toxic gas to wipe out the eastern seaboard. The rules: Able team has forty-eight hours to find Queensbury ... or millions of people die.

But the rules were made to be broken, especially when Lyons and his men pledge to make this a death hunt.

Another one closer to a 3.5, it's fairly good, it moves at a good pace. However the villain is pretty silly, he's like a Rosenberger villain or a bad DC comic book villain. Pennington does ok with keeping some action going and again to keep the story moving. Basically it's a guy from Lyons' past that he put in jail. Though the guy is a genius named gamemaster and breaks out only to start another game where AT has to find him and stop him based on some clues. Stop him from releasing some new toxins that he stole that will kill millions.

Can't really recommend it, I enjoyed it but only because I'm a fan of the series and characters. The story is fairly goofy, again I expect it out of Rosenberger but in just a normal men's adventure it just reads sillier than normal.

I was disappointed with the ending unless the bad reappears But unfortunately everything I am reading says no. the story was as if The Following read the idea and used it in the TV show.

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