A biologist puts his mutated strain of oil-eating bacteria up for sale - and Allah's Blade wants it. Once introduced into the hold of a supertanker, the bacteria will swiftly contaminate the ship's priceless cargo. Hiring L.A. thugs as muscle, the terrorists destroy a tanker of oil off the West Coast, and the President quickly orders his Able Team warriors to California. When a wounded Carl Lyons is captured, his colleagues are left with one course of action: they must deliver a lethal burst of 9 mm slugs with Allah's name stamped on every one.

RUBBISH. It may be this authors first crack at the series but gee this was ORDINARY. Basicaly a biologist has created a strain of bacteria which will consume and destroy crude oil when it is introduced. So straight away we are taking notice whilst watching that price at the petrol pump. It just collapses the introduced terrorists are a bunch of cannon fodder. A couple of them are exited in the hotel a couple more on the road. It just goes on and on and they are all found wanting. The massive amount of pages explaining how the abilities of the terrorist's is so superior and well what happened? This title gets two extra stars for what happens to Lyons/the kidnap/and again/Gadgets follies as a hostage/the two dudes on the oil platform "way to go guys" and Cowboy he was also excellent. So with all that only three stars imagine what the rest is like. Not a title I would recommend for reading in this series.

This one had enough action and stuff but I'm not too crazy about this writer. It wasn't very well written, I had to reread paragraphs to figure out who was who, who was doing what, and who was talking. By the end of the book, I had a headache. I was glad when it was over.

This book was a brief glimpse back to the mullah-mauling, tango-trashing, don't stop killing until the last bad guy's final bit of quiverring corpsemeat stops vibrating from the full-blast, braincrushing autofire that Able Team had been long before. This was a good book, and I particularly liked the gritty cover to this one, and the oil-rig battle at the end was classic carnage.

A fast paced entry from this new writer. The only thing that bugged me was that it seemed to jump around a lot toward the end.
