Triangle of Terror

5.8 / 10 average from 4 rated reviews

torming the gates. A secret intelligence task force has unleashed the rogue fury of black ops at the highest reaches of the U.S. Administration. Shrouded in lies, the group has spun its web and baited the President. Its mandate to protect him becomes a smoke screen for an insidious agenda: the overthrow of the American government. Mack Bolan has witnessed the darkest conspiracies at the heart of evil, but this is the ultimate treason. The scheme links the deaths of innocent marines, the razing of an illegal POW camp in Brazil and enough nerve agents to turn Main Street U.S.A. into a ghost town. As the hours tick down toward anarchy, the Executioner is seeking the clues that will point the guilty finger at the most ruthless traitor in the history of the republic.

Cool cover, great characterization and a hardboiled writing style keeps the plot churning. The blood and thunder truly begins in the last third of the book. Gore, larger-than life characters, this one is not for the squeamish. The highlight of the novel is where the big bad goes basically from house to house in the local town, recruiting a mercenary/criminal army to try to stage an assault on Camp Triangle, only to have Bolan trailing him, one house behind him, burning their houses down. The ending was a bit rushed, the viewpoints and people got jumbled up on the mountain, and the last three pages are puzzling to be sure. This can be overlooked because of the cool cover, but this triangle has no depth.

A great premise and a very ambitious story - ending was silly though. This really should have been streched out into a super Bolan - why wasn't it ? I think if it were, it would have been a heck of alot better ! An average entry anyway - Eh Kay says - average.

Well I thought it was quite ordinary actually. There is nothing you can pick out which is bad as far as standing out to point to but the same could be said for the good points. A cast of thousands almost (well certainly too many groups to keep track of in your head). The title goes on and on and I found myself constantly raising my eyebrows thinking this is crap. Okay it finished okay I liked the President's stuff at the end but yep it really didn't do anything for me. I think there are many many titles to recommend for your reading than this particular one.

Interesting conspiracy in this one. Main adversary Braden regardless of the hype was push over and too many useless villains killing each other up: Taskforce Talon, SCTF, Brazilian deathsquads, Paragayan neo-nazis, terrorist, rogue CIA assasin, Kurds, renegades of Turkish army. Ending was rather absurd. It is quite well written though.
