White Line War

Terrific book I enjoyed this from start to finish and this would be the best submission from this author. The final confrontation with Fatman is very well done and a great finish to the book. The section where Mack sets up an ambush on the Columbian ambush squad deploying his Mafia gunmen in little hidden foxholes to take them out, he then during the ensuing firefight takes a few of them out to even up the number of casualties on both sides is truly Mack. The changes of charcter of the Columbian drug lord from arrogant to a scared wreck is very well written. my two bobs worth..................

This is NOT how a Bolan mafia book should be written although it is a symptom of too many mafia novels which has a "each Don is an island" mentality. There is a structure to the mafia and each Don is accountable to NY. Sure Mack shattered it but even with the LoneWolf mafia books there was still a structure - weakened but still there. 1) Who in the mafia could identify Mack Bolan? Isn't anyone who could identify him dead? 2) Why didn't Fatman who was losing millions ever hear from NY about either being removed or having reinforcements. The mafia was losing millions because of Don Fatman. 3) Wouldn't this have been a nice time to bring back Leo? Lets see Fatman realizes he has Mack. So instead of contacting NY and the Commission to collect the money and to turn him over to him he turns Mack to his own turkey doctor. 4) Cordero macho in the extreme. How does his swimming pool of pirahna stay alive? Doesn't the pool need to be cleaned? I know silly thoughts but it occurred to me while reading the novel. 5) Mack was lazy in this novel. He set up a bomb to blow away Fatman, Cordero and their cohorts so Mack stays at Fatman's home to steal documents? Totally out of character for Mack to just walk away from a job like that without making sure it works and picking off any survivors. 6) Mack has infiltrated how many mafia compounds? This would have been an ideal novel for him to go in as the Ace Frankie. I can never recall any Pendleton novel where he was scared he would be discovered - he always went in self-assured. A real lousy novel. A 1.

An excellent story, with full tilt action from cover to cover. Bolan not only kicks serious butt in this book but again shows how sly he is by infiltrating a mafia gang, going right up to being the top security man for the mafia don in Miami. Then playing two sides against each other; the mafia and the Columbia cocaine gang. Jeez, what a body count in this book. I liked the ending to the story, with a confrontation with the villain in a fun park. I like this author, the writing is smart and fast paced, and is a much better novel than Sudan Slaughter. Good read all around.

I enjoyed this one thoroughly--it had a great plot, realistic character development, and a lot of action. I wish this author would've contributed more, but what he did produce was pretty good.

All along US highway I-95, murders are occuring. Seemingly senseless, the nation is gripped by terror. The murders are actually part of a drug-war between the Columbians and the Mafia, and Mack Bolan decides that enough is enough, and moves in to stop the murders. The book started off great. The highway plot was fresh and unique. The expectation was that Bolan would go from cell to cell, uncovering leads and stopping this crime wave. It didn't play out that way. Bolan is tipped off who the responsible party is way too soon in the book, and begins his usual "infiltrate the mob" routine. It made for a good story, but broke no new ground. From Bolan's infiltration to the amusement park shoot out at the end, it all seemed very predictable. The writing is good, but the plot was nothing new.

Full of action & excitment. And I love Mack on the cover of this book.

A real good entry that was action-packed.

TOTAL TAKEDOWN ALL THE WAY.ADIOS, DRUG DEALERS. A GOOD BOLAN BOOK.

Fast-paced it may be, this one seemed to throw as many characters at a scene as it did bullets and situations. I didn't care for Kirk Sanson's method of writing and am glad he didn't stay around longer (at least under that name). One of the few that I absolutely hate. Mack's usual reluctance to work with the Mafia is so quickly forgotten that it's not funny. Good premise for the story, bad execution due to too many characters thrown in the pot every two pages or so makes keeping track of who's who atrocious without a scorecard.

A fast paced book from Sanson. This writer should have stayed around longer.
