Washington has uncovered one of the deadliest alliances the world has ever seen - neo-Nazis in bed with Arab terrorists. A covert search-and-destroy campaign led by Mack Bolan has toppled the neo-Nazi power base. But the final battle awaits in the desert. At the heart of this massive conspiracy is a twisted visionary, spearheading a movement to rebuild the Middle East according to his own bloody blueprint. The Executioner and the Stony Man commandos enter the last phase of the counteroffensive, knowing it will be life or death, as always. In the killing grounds, survival is a bonus and there are no guarantees.

Mel Odom steps in where Newton left off to put a great conclusion to the terror trilogy. Here is where we get to see the whole plot of the story, and to wrap up everone's mission once and for all. Inferno is a change in writing style compared to the first couple of books, but the action and the fast pace is unbroken, and in my opinion, the best book of the three. Bolan wraps up his mission in Bolivia, with a great escape, and chase Rivera to Europe. Phoenix Force does the same and it isn't long before everyone meets up in the final scenes in the middle east. Both Bolan's and PF missions are well told, down to the wire action, and I thought a worthy conclusion to this trilogy. The various secondary characters provide depth to the story, the scenes with Price at the farm are excellent, and the complex plot was interesting. One surprise for me was the inclusion of Able Team. I wasn't expecting them to have a role in this trilogy, but there they were, and I thought those scenes were done well, and added more kick to the story. The main villain, Harel, had some co-conspirators that never got resolved as to what happened to them. I assume they got away, or maybe there was a passage that didn't make the final cut? I also hoped to see some kind of epilogue for this long story, but there was none. This trilogy overall is very good, I recommend reading it.

Brilliant the best Mel Odom book to date in the series. The unravelling of the plot is rivetting reading and the action scenes are fantastic. I was blown away with the writing of the ambush scene at the airport totally rapt while reading and flicking to the next page. A fantastic revealing of the Canary character. Highly recommended reading. my two bobs worth........

What a waste of a trilogy. The first two entries were so explosive and exciting, I had to catch my breath. Then we get this monstrosity! I didn't hate it, but it left me feeling cheated.
