This review is from: White Viper (Paperback)

White viper is a new and pure type of cocaine which is flooding the European market and when an agent of the mysterious British agency The "organization"is killed in Columbia they decide to do something about it .They send their most effective and deadliest hit man ,Kurt Mallory to infiltrate the coke cartel and eliminate its leaders .He is aided by British agent Georgina Savage and two old friends ,a former Mossad agent named Goldie and a South American named Mario whose family have been killed by the drug barons.

The mission is dangerous and the enemy -mostly Brits and Irish-wholly without scruples .The book is violent ,verging on sadistic and the scenes of gang rape will be discomforting to many readers .In short this is a book aimed at those who like macho thick ear thrillers and while readable it lacks the crispness and authority of other specialist writers in the fiels ,such as Andy McNab and Chris Ryan.At nearly 500 paperback pages it is also way too long .

One for those who like macho action and who are not unduly concerned by sexual scenes and sadism
