This review is from: Frontier Fury (Executioner) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Executioner #376 written by Michael Newton is one of the better reads concerning recent Mack Bolan novels. I especially enjoy the Bolan saga when they begin with a covert parachute drop. Jumping from Jack Grimaldi's plane, Bolan is out the door into a slip stream of cold air falling downward toward a "hair pin" shaped river. Looking at his right wrist altimeter, Bolan pulls the ripcord at 2,000 feet waiting for the chute to jar open after another five hundred feet drop. Once on the ground in North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan, Bolan links up with Hussein Gorshani, the CIA paid assistant who will accompany the Executioner on the entire mission. The mission is to reach Mount Khakwani, "roughly eleven thousand feet in height", to eliminate two high ranking al Qaeda (the base) leaders, Akram Ben Abd al-Bari and Ra'id Ibn Rashad. Not only must Bolan and his assistant climb to the pinnacle of the ll,000 foot Mount Khakwani, they will have to penetrate a numerous group of Taliban guards beefed up to guard Akram Ben Abd al-Bari.

The action moves from Afghanistan to Pakistan back to Stony Man on to Islamabad to Washington, D.C., to Rawalpindi, with a couple of stops at the village of Sanjrani. The author has written copious amounts of fire fights into this saga between Bolan and units of the Pakistani Army and members of al Qaeda, while at the same time offering information on the inner workings of al Qaeda including one focusing on a suicide bombing of a Christian (Crusader) church in downtown Islamabad. The author includes among many other items definitions between a 'fatwa' and 'jihad'. From page 1 through page 186, the book reads as fact rather than fiction and could have been taken from today's newspaper headlines.

Another well written book by a veteran writer (Mike Newton) of several dozen books in the Bolan saga since book #41 back in the year 1982. I recommend this book as one of the better ones in recent GOLD EAGLE Executioner books.

Semper Fi.
