The Chameleon Factor

8.3 / 10 average from 4 rated reviews

Their orders come direct from the Oval Office- and only when the situation is desperate enough to call for swift, hands-on measures. Stony Man's cybernetics team and tactical commandos are put into action to remove threats against America with surgical precision. Now it's crisis time, and the situation is big- a Level-10 security clearance, For the President Only. And for Stony Man, it's one shot, no second chances.... CHAMELEON A brilliant new development in portable stealth technology, Chameleon is a state-of-the-art jamming device that blocks all kinds of magnetic frequencies, making it the ultimate death shield in the right hands. But in the wrong hands, it would mean the obliteration of America's defense and communications systems- and open season on its citizens. When Chameleon is stolen by a traitor who provides a fiery demonstration of its doomsday power, Stony Man must retrieve it at any cost. If Chameleon is deployed ... shutting it down is not an option.

Terrific read here which will certainly entertain you. A NEW plot goodness me something original to read and coupled with the ongoing storyline you will be taken for the ride. Both teams are in on the action scenes with honors split evenly and both their storylines excel. One thing that really struck me with this title and it doesn't happen all that often is whatever location the title travels to the beautifully written descriptions put you there as well you can easily visualise what is happening. Highly recommended reaing here folks.

This is the best Stony Man I have read by Nick Pollota so far. The whole plot seemed far-fetched, but it was still an enjoyable read. The beginning was really well written and quickly hooked me into the story, and it kept me hooked till the very end. The final fights for both teams were intense. Like the other review, I loved Carl Lyons attack on the HQ while double wielding shot guns and causing a massacre. Phoenix Force's attack on the island compound to stop the nuclear launch was also very well done, even though any reader would know that McCarter was going to survive that final shot he took. NO surprise there.

This was the first Stony Man Book I ever read and I loved it. It was very cool from start to finish. I especially loved the Assault on the Cascade headquarters with Lyons using two auto shotguns. This book kicks huge ass!!!

I wonder when they started doing Stony Mans (Men?) without Bolan. Don’t like those. This one is OK, but I think I'd have liked to have David go bare-hands with Davis. And both the Cascade and Nucleus headquarters were too easily penetrated after the descriptions given of how folks got in. I'd have had Woods get away, then get him later. Oh, well.
