Target Aquisition

I'm probably being generous with a 6. Like one of the previous reviewers said, there wasn't much plot. Except for a few lulls, it was major action all the way through. I thought the soft probes the Stony Men conducted were suspenseful. The finale assault on the terrorist HQ was extremely long and drawn out. It was almost overkill because the story itself suffered.

this book is pathetic. suffers from bad pacing and a TERRIBLE ending. who is the bad guy/ bad guys? i dunno. i forgot. so much lame cookie cutter action and killing i forgot who or what Stony Man was even fighting! i cant even tell you what the plot was. ohhh wait... there was none. major let down! only reason it got 2 stars is because it killed time at work on slow days. avoid at all costs. unless you are really bored.....

Target Acquisition is many mini missions to accomplish the overall mission. Mostly we complain an author has too many chapters of the villain masterminding his plot(s). Here’s an entry that almost has no enemy voice. The enemy is a hydra with a leader you don’t ever get to know so you never get that anticipation of “can’t wait to see how Lyons or McCarter kill the bastard.” Because of the hydra the Teams split up into one-man units to stop the atrocities after initial Team efforts. It is a non-stop action story however with so little from the villain you read chapter after chapter of non-stop killing to the point you forget what the mission goal really is. Basically what we have here is an enemy doing bad things so let’s go cut down all the people involved. We never did find out what was in the brief case.
