5.0 / 10 average from 3 rated reviews

As a sign of good faith, the U.S. and Soviet Union have agreed upon a Nuclear Disarmament Treaty. But when planes carrying Russian and American teams sent to witness the highly publicized first dismantlings are blown up in midair, a cold breeze chills relations between the two countries. The President is determined the dismantlings will proceed - even if it means sending Able Team to baby-sit the procedure. But Carl Lyons and his men refuse to be mere observers - they're determined to expose the covert group of saboteurs before they can mastermind another strike. Able Team knows the fate of relations between the two superpowers depends upon it!

I could say ditto to a previous review yet again but will refrain. So what about this one? It starts fantastic good plot and I'm thinking this is going to be good. That's it. From then on we follow the tale of Gadgets getting the shot away with yet another drop dead beautiful Russian lady. (I think it was his turn in the series). The title goes further nose down from then on with a pretty weak finish. BUT it is an entertaining read some of the action scenes are very well done certainly better than some of the rubbish in previous titles of this series.

This book has good plot ideas, and a fair amount of conspiracy. Another new writer joins the AT writing crowd, and did a good job concerning series continuity and the character backgrounds. I wasn't too thrilled by this novel however. It's hard to put my finger on just what the problem was, but it just didn't seem very compelling reading, the action scenes were dry, the storyline was more complicated than it should have been, and the whole loose end with Ruiz was left hanging at the end of the book. The ending was anticlimactic. The writing style was too Clancylike for my taste. The scenes where Able Team wasn't around were the ones I liked best about the book. Some good parts here and there, but on the whole, I consider this a below average book.

A fairly good book, much better than the Renauld books.
