Justice by Fire

This is what Able Team is all about, Hard hitting in you're face action. Where the Bad guys are really BAD!! and you want to see them ushered into the next world with a bullet to the head. Lot of good things about this Book. I loved the cover with POl shouldering the Armburst Rocket. I thought the attempted Mugging of the Team was so random, Came out of no where. They messed with the wrong tourist's. Liked the Floyd Character, He turned out to be a real warrior. I loved the way the corrupt F.B.I agent got his, Classic. to me this is the best book in the series so far. A solid 9 stars.

WOW!! This book is Awesome on all levels. To me this is the best book in the series so far. I like it when Able operates in the U.S. the bad guys were really bad and I'm glad Able sent them to hell. I loved the way the corrupt F.B.I Agent god killed. The death squads may be good at killing but their not that smart. Also I really liked the reporter I thought that he was a real warrior. This book really kicked ass for me. Highly Recommended 9 stars!

Well I'm pretty much with Joshua on this one. Whilst I enjoyed the action and carnage the title didn't seem to have much else going for it by way of plot and characters introduced. Fair read but not as good as some of the others.

I cannot say what it was like to read Justice By Fire in 1983, I can only say what is was like to read it in 2006. I also cannot say what it was like to read this next to the other books in the Able Team series as it is essentially my introduction to the books. However, when I write these reviews I am comparing the books, not to each other, but to literature as a whole. To me there is no reason that mass market pulp adventure novels cannot be held in the same regard as any other kind of book. No book is disposable in my eyes. However, some of these books seem to have been written to be disposable. Read once and discard. Justice By Fire is just such a book. G. H. Frost may have created something that was profound in 1983 but somehow I suspect not. This book suffers from some horrible lack of forethought. Through the entire piece it is obvious he made it up as he went along. The novel could have been so much better had he taken some time to organize his thoughts before he began. But he was only writing a disposable adventure novel, so why bother? It is for that reason that Justice By Fire fails. The concept and the ideas that went into this book are quite good but they begin to fall apart in execution. For the first half of the book we are given a setup for the story, as well as a pointless and trite party scene involving the boys of Able Team, and then some action and then an explanation scene that explains the back cover text. For a while there I was wondering if I was reading the same book. Then nothing more of those ideas. Splatter and violence galore in the second half, but no real plot progression, slightly disjointed action scenes and a half hearted attempt at continuity with the rest of the series makes Justice By Fire the average and disposable piece of writing that it is.

This book met all of my expectations and hopes. However I was let down on a few areas. First off there wasn't enough writing on the vigilante killings and there were also too many short chapters. I did love the scene where Pol and Lyons are at the party. Now that was hilarious.

From begining to end this book rocked. The action sequences were everpresent and the pace kept the pages turning. The novel also links previous books together with connections between Unomundo and the Salvadoran death squads. I always love that. I also like the fact that All of ableteam is equally present in this one. Lyons' Crowd Killing Device (The Attchison) also stole some thunder and you gotta love that. All in all one of the better Able Teams.

9 outta 10 stars! this book has total bad ass action, and all three Able Team members get equal billing. The action is fast paced and hard hitting. I could almost feel the brass casings hit my cheek bone. The dynamics of Pol, Gadgets and Ironman seem so real. Look out bad guys! Able Team kicks ass and takes names.

This is classic G H Frost carnage. This is one of those books in this series I always associate the Able Team series with. They don't write them like this anymore.

Justice by Fire is another excellent entry in the Able Team series. This series has certainly provided some great books full of action but this one is the best so far. In a story with connections to the Unomundo angle, Able Team has to help protect a reporter who can testify against right-wing Salvadoran death-squads operating in the U.S., maybe with the approval of high levels of the government. The guys are on their own in this fast paced action tale. The villains are so nasty it makes you want to join Able and help them usher these monsters into the next world. Truly evil and cruel terrorists. Lyons, Gadgets and Pol chop them to pieces in 4 tense and dangerous firefight encounters. Great action as the team tries to escape the well armed and equipped death-squad goons. The lead flies and you can almost hear Lyons' Atchisson booming and the whine of bullets, slugs and 00-buck! The reporter and the rest of the folks encountered are true to life and succeed in making the reader care about what happens. Beyond taking out the bad guys in this battle, it becomes important that the good guys win the war. This story has action and tense plotting with great characters. This is a 10 star book!

An okay take on familiar ground dating back to the Dirty Harry rogue cop movie (I forget the title offhand) on up through The Star Chamber. There were some good action sequences but unless gore-rific is your cup of tea, the splatter gets old real quick. Most of the dialogue was on the cartoonish side, too.

As far as I'm concerned, this book is a close second to #2. The action is so brutal, it's sadistically funny. The description of the Atchisson carnage is my favorite.
