Here we go yet again with yet another rewrite. Oh how I love it a drug lord to be taken down and yet again a female ally who has never been in combat before and in fact never killed anyone before is suddenly transformed into a killing machine teamed up with the Big Guy. Include the mandatory scenes where the female sidekick who is kidnapped and has to be rescued by the sniper scenes YET AGAIN. As it is her sister this time one star added for originality :) what a joke! Laughable this author has yet again released yet another title which he has done what in excess of 30 times now. Disgusting I would have thought the author would have more pride but obviously not the power of the almighty dollar is the only concern. Hello if any one is listening at Gold Eagle give this guy the flick OR check his submissions and return to him as previously published MANY MANY times before or your readers will start dwindling away you cannot expect people to continually read the same over and over again and pay for the privilege. Surprisingly I actually enjoyed the ending sections of the title and again I am asking myself why an author with this guys talent continually stoops to re-releasing what he has already published? Very disappointing.

This was - by far - my favorite new release Bolan title during the past year. This was a fascinating and enjoyable story involving Bolan, guns, world-wide drug trade, drug lords, and high government officials on the take. The story takes place in Colubmia and begins when drug traders make a hit on key government leaders. Bolan is brought in early and the story takes off in great page-turning fashion. In my opinion, the best Bolan books are those that provide insight into Bolan's character while developing strong ties with other, supporting characters. This book does just that. The author provides some tremendous bonds between Bolan and Pureza from the start and continues to develop throughout. The final action sequence is one of the best in the Bolan books. We see Bolan manipulating the adversaries in a tremendous manner to get the most impact against a sliver of the world's evil.
