Well hard sort of title to review here but from the start I have to say that after finishing it, it was an enjoyable read for me anyway. If you are action orientated you would be well advised to look elsewhere as there isn't a lot in this title. In fact the Big Guy doesn't feature that much at all in this title even though Cowboy and Jack are along for the ride. Lots of good characters introduced and there is no honor among thieves here as the bad guys spend most of the title scheming how they can take down their allies by stabbing them in the back. BUT even though it is debatable whether this should have been released in these series the title is a good read which will keep you interested if you decide to read this one. Not brilliant by any means but for what it is worth I enjoyed the read and you could do worse in these series.

Great premise with terrorists, political shenanigans and stolen relief funds. However the book, while a good read, wasn't anything breath-taking. Bolan had a lot of help from the Stony Man Farm and even a few tag alongs. With a batch of villians and a rather abrupt ending, I was left wanting a bit more. Especially the underwater stuff. Fun and fast read though.

Great Book, I didn't rate it a ten because the ending felt a little rushed, still a good ending though. Overall a great book full of , and I mean full of great characters, everyone of them was so well thought out, "Good" Politician, the Young Cop, the Anti-Terrorist Leader, the Traitor, and Cowboy and Jack along for the ride ! Great stuff !

This was a good story but I think it lacked the action I expect to see. Only two or three gunfights and so much investigation, ( its not stony man after all) I do like the book and the idea that the writer could put a book together that dealt with political candidates but we did not have to wade through the ideals of each one or get history lessons on how each party came into being. Bolan brought his own help with him which I prefer over him finding someone who he can trust and work with (I like Bolan as a lone wolf operator as he was from the beginning) books with Bolan being on his own are few are far between lately. It was a well thought out story and didn’t leave anybody out in the cold at the end. Everything gets explained like it should be. All though, I would have like to see the ex-ambassador get eaten by a shark or some such but that still would not be bad enough after stealing Tsunami relief money. Overall it’s a better book than most I have read lately. JMHO
