6.0 / 10 average from 1 rated reviews

A secret meeting with anti government leaders ready to negotiate peace in Syria backfires when the plane carrying UN diplomats to the war-torn country is shot down. Tasked with finding and extracting the diplomats before word of their disappearance gets out, Mack Bolan drops into the Syrian desert. But Bolan isn't the only one looking for the crash site. The rebels and the Syrian military each have their own agendas, and UN officials would make valuable hostages for either side of the conflict. With the plane's tracking device mysteriously disabled and hundreds of miles of desert to search, Bolan is in a deadly race against fighters who are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for their cause. The Executioner won't stop until he leaves his enemies in the dust of their own destruction.

A topical location and situation as Bolan is dropped into the Syrian war. Bolan is out to rescue the passengers of a downed UN plane, but the bad guys are also after the passengers as hostages. Unfortunately the Syrian situation plays very little in the story, we could have been in a generic civil war in a generic desert. Which is a shame because the author could have included a lot more, such as a perilous drive through the city of Homs as the military bomb it. Instead we have rehashed characters and situations that have appeared in other works by this author. So it was really a wasted opportunity for a good and original story.
