Another amazing entry by Doug. It was was jammed packed with with exciting, gritty, brutal action sequences-combined with an interesting plot. It was great to see Bolan go up against an old enemy. This one was filled with some of the most exciting car chase scenes, which is unusual for me because i usually dont find car chases really exciting. Overall, another solid entry. -
This was a good comeback for Nathan Meyer after the mediocre Executioner Collision Course installment he wrote last shipment. The action throughout the novel was intense and violent, which I always enjoy. The plot was done a lot better than collision course. For the most part, Bolan works by himself till the very end of the novel when he gets help from Grimaldi and Mott. The ending was amazingly insane because it was set up as one exciting action sequence after another. Overall another well done novel. -
Yet another amazing entry by DPW. As usual in his writing, the action sequences are intense, violent, and top-notch. The story was really well-done too , and there was never a boring moment. Dark and Adonis were really great villians and really gave the story some extra depth. I really enjoyed all the brutal hand-to-hand fights throughout book, even though it seemed repetitive that Bolan or the other characters would consistently get there guns knocked out of there hands. I also liked the return of Kowalski from Hard Pursuit and his temporary recruitment by Able Team. Overall, another great entry by Doug. -
some spoilers: After reading Guenther's impressive Executioner entry this month, I went straight to his SuperBolan entry, expecting it to be just as good or even better. I wasnt disappointed. Again, the action sequences are well done, violent, and exciting, as well as numerous. I thought the fight in the pool at the end was intense. The whole cast of characters were well-developed, especially Leo, Sergei, and Kisa and her father. Overall, another great entry by Guenther. -
Another exciting entry by Guenther. I liked how Bolan was NOT doing this mission for Stony Man this time around. I also liked how he got some help from from his brother John. I havent seen him yet since Ive started reading the series. The action scenes and charceter development were very well done, the usual from Guenther. I liked the methods Bolan used to shake down the crime family, just like the original books. Overall, a great entry with fantastic action scenes and good minor characters. -
Another good entry by Linaker. This book was pretty fast=paced which I really liked. All the major and minor characters were developed really well again, as usual by Linaker. Also, the action sequences were done really well, especially the finale. I liked how Bolan got to partner up with McCarter for part of the book. SPOILER: I loved how the ending was left wide open for a sequel or spin-off or whatever-can't wait to read that novel. -
This one was enjoyable, but nothing spectacular I really liked the whole idea of the virus and the enemy's plot to take over the world. I liked how Able Team went on their own little mission to save the police officer's daughter at the beginning and stumbled upon the villian's plot. As usual with this writer, the battle scenes are described really nicely. I liked how Brognola got to get out from behind the desk at the end. Overall, the book was entertaining, but it seemed to be filled with a lot of fluff to reach the page limit. -
Amazing. I found this at a used book store and started reading it today. I finished it in less than twelve hours because I couldn't put it down. I loved reading Bolan's origin so to speak after reading so many of the recent ones. It was more action packed than I expected, and all the action sequences were great. I liked Bolan's clever strategies in defeating the Mafia, especially the finale. That was spectacular. I can't wait to read more from Don Pendleton. -
Contains Spoilers Just got done reading this a minute ago. Wojtowicz does it again! Another terrific SuperBolan novel. As usual with Doug, each and every action sequence were terrific and exciting. I especially liked the one-on-one hand-to-hand combat fight with Duarte, the raid on the Kuriev's compound, and even the final conflict between Bolan and Anibella; even though I think Bolan would have had an easier time taking her down. I loved it when Bolan takes on the two Komodo dragons! That was amazing. As always in Doug's novel, Bolan is human. He gets the living daylights beat out of him throughout all the battles in the novel, but toughs it out and wins in the end. Anibella was a great psychotic villianess I will not soon forget. The whole crazy idea that she was working for some Aztec goddess was intriguing. Overall, this was a fastatic novel, maybe my favorite or close second since I have been reading the series. I couldn't set it down till I finished! -
Great ending to the first duology I have read in the Stony Man series. The whole idea of a goverment take over by its own military taking place while tensions mount in Bahgdad was exhilarating! The story arcs of both teams are very well done yet again thanks to Linaker. Pheonix busting out of their capture was a great way to start, and the book never let up. Gardener was one great villian I will not soon forget. Jacobi's arc of the story was also very well done, and he will also be a character I won't soon forget. The finales for both teams were very well done. A great ending to a duology. -
Linaker does a very good job with this Stony Man entry. The story arc for both teams were very well done. It was tense to see Pheonix Force actually fail a mission and get captured and then try to escape. All the action sequences for both teams throughout the book were expertly well done. The plot is very interesting and complex, but with Linaker's style of writing it is very easy to follow. The bombing on the small Texas was very chilling and haunting. Overall, a good read, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on the second part. -
This was a good read. I loved seeing Mack Bolan partner up with Carl Lyons, who has easily become my second favorite character in the Bolan universe (Bolan #1 obviously). It was great to see them travel around the USA and West Africa and blow out the enemy forces. All the action sequences are violent and well done, and overall the book was fast-paced. The Brethen were interesting and tough bad guys, always a good thing in a Bolan novel. I hope I get my hands on the "prequel" novel of this great entry because I think I would even like it more knowing the back story behind so many of the characters. I have only started the series but Linaker is becoming a favorite writer. -
I have only read 4 Stony Man books so far, but this one is definently my favorite so far. It was intense the whole way through, had a ton of action, and I couldn't put it down. My favorite parts of the book is when Able team was trapped up in space. They couldn't use guns, which resulted in a LOT of bloody, violent hand-to-hand combat fights in a zero-gravity environment, which I felt was awesome. The final fight for Phoenix force in the book was really well done too. So far the writer of this book has undoubtedly been my favorite Executioner, Mack Bolan, Stony Man writer. -
I liked this one more than the same author previous entry-Act of War. It started out really well and kept my interest the whole way through till the end of the novel. I liked all the major scenes where the X-ships obilerated the space shuttle and such. I thought the X-ships were really cool weapons. I thought the action sequences were pretty good too. Overall, a pretty good entry. -
This Stony Man novel, the second one I read, was so much better than the last one I read-Act of War. I thought the plot was fascinating, the action was great, and it was a real page turner. I think I read in 2 days. Both Able Team and Phoenix Force encountered some surprises. I am starting to really like these characters. I like how this author switches points of view throughout the book. It made it really interesting. -
This is my first Stony Man novel. It was decent but not great. Able Team and Phoenix Force didn't seem to be the main characters, they weren't in the book that much. Also, the action sequences were less than perfect. I thought the plot had potential, but then it fell flat. The ending was still intense though. -
THis one was a surprise for me. The only other book I read from this author (Appointment in Baghdad) didn't really impress me. But this one turned out to be awesome. I started to read this book one night and I said to myself I would only read 2 chapters. The plot, action, and intensity of this book really caught me. I ended up like reading eight chapters that night. I finished it the next day because I couldn't put it down. From the moment Bolan parachuted into Indonesia everything went wrong and it mad the story fast-paced and intense. There were some editorial errors, but overall it was awesome. -
First of all, I didn't like the tiny font. But, that didn't effect the story or anything. This one started out and ended well, but the middle was kind of boring and slow I felt. There isn't too much else I can say, other than that it was still a good read. -
This was the most disappointing executioner I've read so far. It's only the 4th one I've read. It started out pretty good, but then it just got kind of boring over time. I thought the plot had potential to be really good, but I don't know it just ended up falling short. As the other reviewer stated, he only uses the Beretta and desert eagle throughout the whole book and almost nothing else. Just disappointing. -
Out of the few Executioner books I have read so far, because I just started the series, this is the one I liked the most. It was fast-paced, and as the previous reviewer stated- unpredictable. The characters and plot were really well done and I couldn't set this book down. I read it throughout my classes at school. Very good read. -
I would give this one a 7.5, but that isn't an option. This is only my second executioner novel. I thought it was rather good, but not as good as the first one I read- Blood Toll. This had a lot of action and was pretty intense, but someting about it that I can't point out just didn't impress me as much as the other I read. -
This was the first book I ever read of any of the Executioner, Mack Bolan, and Stony Man series, and I really liked it. It was very fast paced, very action-packed, and rather violent. After reading this book in about like a day I huried to get Mack Bolan: The Judas prophecy, because I felt like this was a series I would come to really enjoy, and so far I have. I have already started buying many of the previous ones I could find in stores. -
I have just started reading the Mack Bolan and Executioner series, and so far this was has been the least impressive, but it was still pretty good. The overall plot was above decent but not great. Same for the action sequences. There were some parts of the book throughout the beginning and middle where I felt like I was forceing myself to read, but he ending of the book was a page-turner. -
I am a newbie to the series, but I am starting to love all the Executioner, Mack Bolan, and Stony Man novels. This is the first Mack Bolan book I read written by Douglas P. Wojtowicz, and I loved it. The only other book I read of this author was Outback Assault, which I also really enjoyed. He is really good at writing the book from the different points of view of all the characters, and the action sequences were top notch. A good read!
