Well it's a nuke of the month story (actually 10 of them) <collective groan> BUT forget that this one is a cracker. Ten nuclear warheads have been stolen by an unknown group and with no ransom demands for cash/prisoner release etc. so the Stony Man cybernetics team are struggling. Through some information received and a little luck Bolan and Phoenix Force recover and disarm one of the warheads. Another is recovered and disarmed during another good section which leads us to the last half/third part of the title where you will read some very special stuff. At this stage of the book we have some very good characters having been introduced and a good plot with a complex storyline going which leads us to the final assault where the remaining 8 warheads are being stored. Stunning stuff here which doesn't happen that often in these series where the suspense builds and builds and the pulse rate quickens a little and you flick over the page to read what happens next as quick as possible. The finish blew me away how they manage to escape when the mission is accomplished also how it was accomplished with the Seal guy and the Russian. This is a superb title and is highly recommended to you.

My favorite of the Stony Man stories. Great action.

As a techno-thriller on its own, it was decent, but as a Stony Man book, it paled in comparison to the ones before it. Able Team was severely under utilized.
