An isolated firefight off the Gulf of Mexico disturbs Johnny Bolan enough to put in a call to big brother Mack. They discover mercenary collusion with local rebels on a tiny Caribbean island ... and hints of Mob involvement in a run-of-the mill peasant rebellion. SUPERIOR FORCE A hard probe into a merc compound deep in the Louisiana bayou goes to hell after the first shot, leaving the Bolan brothers with little more than a new wild card in the deck: a lady Fed. The trio tracks the Mafia connection to its final resting place, courtesy of a few well-aimed kill shots, but the big picture remains out of focus. As the cold trail stateside leads to international waters, a virulent enemy is baiting a new hook.

Well the first instalment of a trilogy and as usual probably the hardest of the three to write where the author has to not only introduce the characters involved but also the plot of the trilogy and also give some sort of a story line to keep the reader interested whilst reading the title. Fair job as usual with this author where he just pulls out material from past publications of his knowing full well that it will be accepted by the publishers. Nothing wrong with what is included here (unless you have already read it many times before) but nothing to get excited about either with the exception of the inclusion of younger brother Johnny which is always a good inclusion from this reader.

A mildly interesting opening act in this trilogy. I liked Johnny Bolan's beefed up role in this one, but at times the author made it seem like Johnny was the star of the book series & not Mack Bolan....at least that's how it came across to me as a reader. The female Homeland Security agent seems like an interesting enough character, we'll see how she pans out. The villains though seemed like an unrealistic blend of criminals from across the globe. One gripe: After Johnny's Mexico encounter initially the villain's training compound & Florida assetts come under assault & no one bothered to connect the dots...hmmm
