Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Land ( The Valhalla Testament ) launches a new cold war, this time with the Far East, in this fast-paced tale of revenge engineered by the Japanese heirs to Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Secret agent Blaine McCracken is called upon to uncover why a former American research compound in the middle of the Amazon jungle has been destroyed and how it was connected to a diabolical plot to assassinate 96 prominent U.S. citizens. McCracken, along with his comrades Johnny Wareagle and Patty Hunsecker, encounter 13 robotlike "disciples" that are part of the Omicron Legion trained to viciously avenge the deaths of the Japanese when the atom bomb was dropped. Eventually he learns that what started out as a Japanese scheme to ruin the U.S. economy has turned into an even higher-stakes battle, complete with plans for widespread destruction through the meltdown of America's nuclear power plants. Mind control, robotics, kidnapping and gruesome murders are some of the complex games facing McCracken and his cohorts as they travel from the Amazon to Washington, Rio and Japan in this first-rate suspense thriller.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Crazed vengeance dooms America. Only one man can save us.", October 16, 1999

This review is from: The Omicron Legion (Mass Market Paperback)

The title above this review is how the book is described on the front of my battered paperback edition. The man who can save us is McCracken, though Johnny Wareagle and Sal Belamo do their parts. The vengeance is from an almost cliched source of villiany, though the treatment is somewhat different in this novel. Read it and you'll see what I mean. In The Omicron Legion blood and thunder is the order of the day, with helpings of angst and soul searching. It's good thriller material. Read it as soon as you can locate your copy. Even if it's a battered copy with a cracked spine and maybe even missing a cover, grab it and read it. Experience it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Rogue Agent Blaine McCracken Thriller!, April 5, 1997

This review is from: The Omicron Legion (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read several Jon Land Books over the years and my favorite ones are the Blaine McCracken series. Not since Ian Fleming's James Bond books have I been intrigued with a repeating character such as Mr. Land had created with McCracken. Each chapter keeps me on the edge of my seat as I find it hard to put the book down as the anticipation of what is going to happen next is too great. The development of the characters are clear and concise in this book as they are in the rest of the series. You will become intrigued in the adventure of Blaine McCracken and his friend Johnny Wareagle as they try to stop a mad man's plot take control of the Government
