Oblivion Pact

by Nick Pollotta · September 2012

9.0 / 10 average from 2 rated reviews

When a firefight breaks out in Mexico, the blitz leaves countless dead and Apache gunships in the hands of an Australian self-made millionaire and the soldiers of his white supremacist group. This in turn puts Mack Bolan in grim pursuit. Hijacking the ordnance turns out to be the first move in a campaign of terror that arms the enemy with an arsenal of NASA experimental limpet mines. The killing sweep then strikes the Cayman Islands, with the object of stealing a supercomputer to control the limpets. And a deadly demonstration off the coast of Brazil leaves no doubt that World War III is the millionaire's ultimate goal. Now all things from satellites to rockets are hands-on weapons of terror to cripple global defenses. Cities around the world will burn unless Bolan-using everything he's got-can dispatch the enemy into eternal darkness.

I've been a fan of Nick Pollotta's Mack Bolan and Stony Man novels for quite some time, and this one is no exception. His writing is kind of reminiscent of Morvell Page, the author of most of the books in the Spider series of the 1930s and '40s, in that he's not afraid to rack up a high body count of innocents, as long as the good guys eventually win. I'm not in favor of meaningless carnage, especially in the wake of certain events in the last 15 or so years, but these are only described in enough detail to keep the story over-thetop. This story starts off at a run, and doesn't let up for the entire book. I'm sure there are probably some plotholes or questionable technicalities in this story, but there's so much going on that none of them took me out of the action. Had I the ability to give half-stars, my rating would've been a bit higher. The only thing that kept this from being a perfect Bolan entry for me was the lack of a mano-a-mano fight between Bolan andthe main villain. They do have a final confrontation, but it's not quite as in-your-face as I thought it ought to have been. Still, I highly recommend this book to fans of military action-adventure. Besides, it once again proves my assertion that everything's better with jet packs. ... And monkeys, too, but that's for a different story.

Starts out regular Bolan infiltrate kick-ass then he meets with a Mexican federally with a similar view and attitude as Bolan (there is actully talk of recruiting him at the end). They then lash out chasing down the bad guys. Good book!
