Standard fare is highlighted by Guenther's explosive writing. The teams have to get to the bottom of Sudanese terrorists smuggling American weapons to Africa. Starts off nicely with Able Team trying to discover the fate of a possible military turncoat. A majority of the book features Phoenix as they cut a wide swath across Sudan, working with the locals and dealing with a traitor in their midst. The book ends on a high note with Able tracking down the remaining terrorists, a action-packed car chase, and a tense battle.

ok....i have a love hate relationship with this Stony Man title. first the good- great pacing and of course great action. the baddies are interesting and the story is great. i like the african setting with the war torn country and Sudans unique political situation. so on that i would give this book a 8 or 9! but there is a major problem. at one point, about 200-250 pages in, Calvin James is shot in the thigh. thats all well and good. but how can a bullet bury deep into his thigh and then in the next scene he is sptinting??? i think not. when he gets shot it sounds like a crippling injury but he is running 10 pages later??? c'mon man!!! dude took an round to an un-armoured thigh and is running again before the day is over??? i could not even believe what i was reading!!! how could they let this be published? do they read these books before the publish them? this glaring oversight takes 3 or 4 stars off the top making the final score a pathetic 5.
