Welcome to The Executioner/Mack Bolan book #369 written by author Phil Elmore, author of 3 other Mack Bolan books: 346, 352, and 358.

I give the author great credit for a well written book concerning pirates in Java and Indonesia, espescially in the city Semarang. Also involved in the plot is an acidic compound called Theta-Seven, a chemical product originated by Saudia Arabia, one that is so deadly the Saudis now want to destroy every supply of the compound before it can fall into other's hands. Unfortunately an ex-Russian naval captain has a supply wanting to seek revenge on the evil western powers by using it against them. It is Matt Cooper (Mack Bolan) now called upon to solve this potential problem.

Again, the book reads well and the author has taken Bolan to a part of the world we do not normally encounter, yet the book for me was no more than a average read where the Bolan saga is concerned. Some other reviews elsewhere have given the book a better review than mine, however, for me the novel was another of those Bolan books I could have stopped reading midway through. The subject was just not to my interest, as it possibly may be to others. Cruise ships, poisonous gases, and kidnapped passengers, intertwined with international politics is too close to the most current morning newspapers for my taste. I prefer the Mack Bolan saga involved in other things.

Semper Fi.
