Counterblow

3.0 / 10 average from 2 rated reviews

Able Team has stalked some prize booty in its career - but ten million dollars in Asian emeralds heads the list. Especially when the gems are rumored to be hidden with a top-secret document smuggled out of Hanoi by a Communist defector. The President wants that document fast or the press will have a field day with national security info sure to reopen wounds of the Vietnam War. Their vendetta for the "forgotten war" still burning, Carl Lyons and his men are met with unfriendly fire in San Francisco's Chinatown and big trouble in L.A.is Little Saigon. In a treasure hunt to the death, Able Team now heads the Most Wanted list - of Hanoi's secret police!

Well another title by this author and this one could be separated into parts. The start is crap the middle is crap and the end is crap. There is actually one other part about maybe 2/3 to 3/4 through the title maybe a chapter or so which is set in a zoo at the polar bear enclosure which is quite good. Two characters introduced in this section are Nightstick Nick and Fifty Fathoms Fred and this chapter is original, humerous and quite good reading. As for the rest of the title the plot is rubbish with the first half of the title only featuring Lyons and a female side kick cop who has joined the team. Does he get into her pants or not is probably the only thought worth considering and after the above mentioned chapter at the zoo the rest of the title collapses into the morass. Seven post offices to visit. Seven boxes to be opened and seven sections basically detailing the same stuff. I would have thought Able Team would be ready after the first two or three but alas no. The author displays strong knowledge of police procedures but alas once again has little knowledge about the characters he is writing about. Sadly another title not worth your time to even start.

This started out to be fairly good, but went way downhill. And the plot was ludicrous!
