Stony Man #9
Strikepoint
Iraq has found the means to a perfect warhead and delivery system - buying the talent of ex-KGB scientists whose skills no longer have a place in a free Russia. Mack Bolan and the Phoenix Force warriors forge a deadly strategy that includes both impersonation of a defecting scientst and a perilous quest across Europe - destination Turkey, launch site of a lightning strike into Iraq - where a single misstep along the way means disaster for the world.

I had a problem with this story, in the beginning. It seemed to drag slowly through the first two-thirds of the book. Had it not been Stony Man, I might have put it down and moved on. However, like the characters, I helplessly carried on, waiting for the action we all knew would happen at the end of this long journey. And when it happened, it was loud and ferocious.
So, for those who have yet to pick up this novel I say, "Be patient". Enjoy the relaxing ride on The Orient Express. Yes, there will be the occasional body. But There will be many more once the show begins :o)
