Damage control. Coordinated strikes have begun against the governments of major Latin American countries. Simultaneously, Mexico City as well as key cities along the U.S. border from Miami to Los Angeles are being overrun in a massive incursion. To ensure the success of his revolution to seize control of Latin America, mastermind Diego Garcia has captured thousands of civilians to use as human shields at his Mexican stronghold. Against the background of pending national turmoil, Mack Bolan's job appears simple: rescue key Western lawmakers being held hostage and remove innocents from the line of fire. But as blood and violence reshape the geopolitical landscape, the mission soon becomes a determined fight for America's freedom.

Could pretty much say ditto to Gunslinger's review with this one as I too was pretty unimpressed with this title. The plot seemed way too unbelievable here and I too thought to myself how the hell could tens/hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens be set up at the same time to do what they did. I guess the story reads okay and the section when the Big Guy boards the cruise liner where the hostages are being held is pretty good but unfortunately the rest of the title is not as good. Read it if you have to.

Nothing really special came out of this one. The plot is a rehash of other better books. Hostages are being held on a cruise ship...along with Brognola. Mack comes in and plays cat and mouse with the terrorists. I did find it suspenseful when Bolan was aboard a sub tracking the cruise ship and boarding it, creating all sorts of havoc. But, I felt the simultaneous takeovers of some Latin American countries, along with the massive push of illegals into the U.S. seemed rather farfetched.
