Reviews

[Chuck · Rating 4 out of 5]

We are re-introduced to Jack Gannon, an ex-Delta Force veteran of the Viet Nam war and present civilian consultant to Delta, who learns of a friend being murdered execution style. The perp happens to be a sociopath with whom Jack served in Viet Nam. Then we learn that the same perp is a professional assassin who has contracted with a group of South American drug lords to assassinate POTUS. This story depends a lot on unlikely scenarios, coincidence and a stereotypical plot line. I am not an overly critical reader, however, and I enjoyed it.

Technically I didn't finish this book, but for some reason I couldn't clear it off my shelf on Goodreads. I couldn't get through it. It's definitely a product of its time, and hasn't aged well. It's too bad, really.
