Oh man, what a dull book.,

This review is from: Tiger Stalk (The Executioner #220) (Mack Bolan: the Executioner) (Paperback)
Coming in at 220 pages, this book is one of the longest 220 pages you are ever going to read. I started reading this book thinking that I would get some vicarious thrills, some macho posturing and a lot of people getting shot. I just didn't know how bored I'd be by it all. Mack Bolan, now an independent operative working for the CIA when it suits him (that way writers can write Bolan as the lone gunman AND the American hero) goes to Sri Lanka in order to rescue his friend, a peace negotiator. In the process of rescuing his friend he kills off half the country. Every action cliche is pulled up including the first girl that is a traitor but gets killed by soemone else, the teeth grinding villain, the heroic revolutionaries, the heroic yet cynical agents of the government and the evil Commies out to keep a civil war brewing. It's not that there is anything awful about this book, but there's nothing to lend it anymore credence than thousands of other thrillers. Don Pendleton's goldmine is the Harlequin Romance of action thrillers. YOu know what you are going to get, it doesn't take long to read and you don't get anythnig new. This particular book looks like it was written by David North according to the inside cover blurb. It might as well have been written by a computerized plot machine. So buy it if you want to read another chapter in the Bolan sage but don't expect anything new. If you are looking for something of the same vein and you are as bored with these generic plots as I am, check out the new Punisher comics written by Garth Ennis. It's the same basic character, but Ennis' warped sense of humor really adds a lot to the premise.
