This one has everything you expect or want from Stony Man, and then some. The characterizations are not only spot on but allow each character to shine on their own. Their is action galore and it never lets up or drags. Highly recommended--especially the audio version from the cutting corporation!

Amazing...simply amazing and AWESOME! Those clanging sounds you hear when reading this action masterpiece is everything including the kitchen sink making an appearance.

From the opening chapter of a Vietnam massacre to the villianess lying in wait for her prey, but having it go horribly wrong opens this stunning Stony Man.

Then you have action scene after action scene, but the story still unfolds nicely and keeps you wanting more. Instead of just a two-pronged attack for the Stony Men against KA55ANDRA and her minions, you have triple the action as Phoenix gets split up into two groups.

Able, along with Carmen Delahunt is assigned stateside to stop 3 psycho's from unleashing carnage on a horrifying scale. Frankly, Delahunt was never interesting to me as a character...until this one. She shines bright as she wants revenge for the murder of a friend. Carl Lyons's character is BRILLIANT! This is the Lyons of old...grumpy, beserker, but compassionate...and that crush on Delahunt that was mentioned once or twice in previous books makes its way subtly into this one. Pol and Gadgets are the two jokesters that I remember from the mid-1980's, constantly harrassing Lyons and making me giggle.

The one arc of Phoenix's mission is terrifying...a blood-thirsty cult, where the leader revels in wearing human skin as a cloak and his soldiers are pretty much zombified in nature. McCarter, Manning and Hawkins have their hands full.

James and Encizo have the finale scene, and they must tackle ninjas, so their knife-fighting skills come in handy. Also, the computer team must work overtime to stop KA55ANDRA'S repeated cyber-attacks.

There are so many standout scenes, but the one that had me enthralled the most was an in-your-face fight scene between Pol and a massive giant. All the villains were absolutely detestable and dispicable, and you just can't wait until Able and Phoenix deliver them to the fiery pits of hell that they deserve. And the Mott character, the one who ignites KA55ANDRA's reign of terror is yet another memorable slime-ball, who just happens to hold a high office in the U.S. government.

A deliciously intense experience that won't be forgotten.
