Everyone has his price, and now someone is trading Star Wars secrets for the missing pieces to a set of priceless gold coins. When the President learns that a trusted aide in his own administration is involved, he calls in Able Team. He only wants Carl Lyons and his men to trap the culprit - he'll dispense justice personally. But when Able Team discovers that the plot is Communist-backed, they sidestep a presidential order and barrel straight to the nerve center of the operation. It's a do-or-die confrontation - the Team must prevent the lethal trade.

After some of the rubbish the reader has been subjected to lately in the series out of the manure rises a gem. This is in the cracker status I absolutely loved it and flew through the title hardly being able to put it down. The Able Team characters are back folks and the author does an excellent job here and some of the ribbing/joking stuff between the is fine reading. The plot is complex but easily followed as the author guides us through, the characters introduced are marvelous each contributing to the ongoing storyline and plot. The climax of the title is very well written and finishes beautifully smooth as silk. I thoroughly enjoyed this title and would highly recommend it for your reading. This title written by Rod Pennington is his first crack at writing one of this series. If in fact this was his first title and not another pseudonym of a previous writer bloody well done mate you got it spot on.

I found this to be a rather refreshing AT novel after reading the last 3 or 4 monkey sploodge novels in this series. Not the best, but a very good one, with a couple good shootouts, and a nice storyline with a complex plot and interesting characters. The writer did a good job with the AT characters, very accurate and three dimensional too.

A good but not great entry. The freeway shootout, and the finale shooutout were very well done.
