Book Description

Series: Executioner | Publication Date: August 1, 2003

Bolan goes full assault on a trail of hijacked nukes. . .

TARGET OF OPPORTUNITY

Smashing through a web of deception reaching from the South China Sea to Vancouver and beyond, Mack Bolan ignites the battle zone against a Chinese Triad suspected of brokering stolen Russian nukes to buyers in Mideast terrorist circles.

Barely surviving the blistering counterattack by the Triads or the wellorganized suck play orchestrated by a CIA double agent, Bolan strikes back hard against the Russian Mafiya who are peddling weapons of mass destruction, while raising the stakes for shadow players behind a global conspiracy.

In a world where friend and foe cross the line at will, the Executioner trusts only his warrior’s instinct. . .

This review is from: Deadly Pursuit: The Moon Shadow Trilogy (Executioner) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Executioner #297, Book Two (Deadly Pursuit) of the Moon Shadow trilogy, written by Mel Odum. This series covers a lot of ground from the South China Sea to Vancouver to Hong Kong with a short assault stopover in the Indian Ocean. Even a Bolan shoot out with members of the CIA! Highly unusual as Bolan doesn't like to trade shots with other government or law officers. Hmmmmm. But in this case since CIA operatives brought on the conflict by abducting and roughing up Jack Grimaldi they had it coming.

Continuing where Book One (Nuclear Game #296) left off Stony Man and our man in black are yet on the trail of the two other stolen nukes that have yet to be recovered. In this book Bolan has a hot lead on one of them but that still leaves one other whereabouts unknown and not recovered. By this book's ending Bolan has reason to believe the Moon Shadow triad has the 3rd and final nuke. He and Saengkeo, head of the Moon Shadows, will no doubt have a confrontation before the third (Final Play #298) and final book of the trilogy ends.

I'm not a reader who enjoys trilogies all that much, but have gotten somewhat used to them as GOLD EAGLE issued many more in the series back in the 1980s than now. GOLD EAGLE is more prone to only two books in series now. Must state, however, that the first two books (Nuclear Game #296 & Deadly Pursuit #297) of this trilogy have been very riveting reading. If the the third and final book (Final Play #298) holds up as well, this trilogy will have been well worth the time spent. See you with a final review after finishing the third and final book (Final Play #298), which by the way, has much material within as the print is only half the size of the print within the first two books!

All 3 books in this trilogy have very attractive artwork by artist Herring. The fine artwork of first 299 books in this series was wonderful, whether by Gil Cohen, Herring, or other artists. The cover of the books after 300 have kinda lost that attractiveness carrying photos with the same individual, frankly for me the books after 300 have lost the artistic edge the earlier GOLD EAGLE maintained. The stories are still good but the covers leave much to be desired, having the common flaw of all looking much alike and difficult to tell the difference one from another. Oh, well...

More later...Stay Frosty...Live Large.

Semper Fi.
