Defending the enemy. It was supposed to be an open-and-shut case against a high-ranking mobster on trial for conspiring to aid Middle Eastern terrorists in a series of attacks against the U.S. But the so-called \"last don\" of New York City is likely to be acquitted when mercenary hit teams kill every prosecution witness except one. Gilbert Favor is a retired money-mover now living in Costa Rica and is the government's last hope. Mack Bolan's mission is to track Favor and return him stateside, alive, no matter what the cost.

Fair read here again with this author where if you have read none or little of his work you would probably love this one. If you are not in the above category then it is just the same old, same old tried and true which we have read many many times. Considering the epilogue I was left wondering why? Read it and see if you can work out what happens at the end considering what happens throughout the title.

I would have given this book a much higher rating had it not been for the ending. The Sidekick of the Month was interesting, the Gil character was well written, the villains were villainous, I enjoyed the fact they were on their own and on the run with not much help from The Stony Man Crew. Still an enjoyable read. Eh Kay says ... I probably won't read it again.

First of all, I didn't like the tiny font. But, that didn't effect the story or anything. This one started out and ended well, but the middle was kind of boring and slow I felt. There isn't too much else I can say, other than that it was still a good read.

His name is Gil Favor and Joe Pesci would be playing him if this was a movie. “Extreme Justice” is part Lethal Weapon 2, part the Sopranos, mix in some fundamentalist Islamic terrorists and serve it in Costa Rica. The author’s characterizations and dialogue are always welcome to this reader. The sociopath Casale, so effective, but so hot-headed and armed with those wonderful witticisms. A few of the twists are telegraphed in advanced, it is just the matter of seeing how it all plays out is the fun of this adventure. Bolan never strays from his course. For most of the novel, he is the Justice Department enforcer. In the conclusion, without giving too much away, he remembers that he once was the Executioner, somehow making the first ninety percent of the novel a moot exercise. Strangely, #357 of the series does not have a .357 magnum in it. If you like tiny fonts, this one is for you.
