Nightfire

The start of the trilogy where we don't get to see the main villain yet, but instead the focus is on his two captains in the form of two brothers that act as his main enforcers. Enter Mack Bolan to take down the whole operation. The plot is not complex, but where this book shines is in the action scenes. Either out in the Baja wilderness or in the ranch compound, the action is fast and furious. A good balance of perspectives is provided between Bolan and other characters in the story. Things get intense toward the end and we have a guest appearance by Grimaldi to help save the day. Overall a solid novel, a worthy book one to this trilogy.

I always check to see who the author is when I start to read one of the titles in the series. On opening this seeing none listed I quickly found out who it was (thankyou, mackbolan.com) and thought hmm this guy's only other title was fantastic and based on its ranking I am no orphan in my opinion of that title. So I started this full of hope after #258 for an original exciting title and this delivers in spades. I agree this writers style is different from the norm in this series (but so was his previous title) and being half way through book 2 of the trilogy at the time of writing this, to date Mack hasn't used the Desert Eagle in fact he hasn't even had it with him. The plot involves taking down a drug lord who has built up a massive pipeline into the States and Europe. In fact it is so huge that the bribe money being offered is incredible to buy officials to look the other way. The story is so interwoven setting the plot that we don't even meet the drug lord in the first title of the trilogy. One of his trusted associates who has two children wishes to get out of his clutches and take her two kids to safety away from him and supply evidence to take him down. So after safely rescuing this lady Mack is faced with the problem of having the kids snatched by the drug lord's main lieutenants the evil Murrillo brothers and recovering them so the lady will supply evidence against the drug lord. What follows from his insertion into the Murrillo fortress to rescue the kids to the escape with them via Jack flying in is terrific stuff folks. Don't hold your breath while reading it as it goes on and on told from various viewpoints which I found refreshing as you already know what has occurred but get a different viewpoint from one of the other characters. The kids have been safely rescued and information comes through from Hal regarding their mother's demise and Mack tells Hal that he will break the news to the kids. I also would have loved to read how Mack would have informed the kids but unfortunately it didn't happen. Never mind the first title of the trilogy has set up the final two titles beautifully and I can't wait to read them. I loved this and would highly recommend this title to you for reading.

There were a lot of things to like about this book, but the slow pacing and a lot of exposition bogged the pace a bit and kept this from getting a higher rank. I can understand by the author chose to remain anonymous, because the writintg isn't truly representative of the best this series has to offer. Still, you could do much worse than this one in terms of passing the time.

I really enjoyed this book and wished to know who this writer was. I thought the characters were rather interesting along with the setup. I enjoyed the fact there is a big powerful villian but there are no scenes with him. He is just talked about. Makes him even more powerful that way. The Murrillo brothers. Interesting cold blooded killers who didn't want the two kids to see killing. Wow what a contradiction but it worked well. The action was really one very long almost 100 page scene from when Bolan first penetrated Murrillo's land to the escape in the Cessna. Well done by showing the various action by different points of view even the childrens. I thought it was an interesting comment by the oldest boy that Bolan had the same fearlessness as their dad. Makes the upcoming comfrontation that much more exciting to happen. Brognala and the actress. Interesting scenes. I wasn't sure if the writer needed to use the stereotype of the Mexican female temper.Very much surprised me that they killed her off. Bolan having to tell the boys their mom is dead. I wish the writer actually had that scene. I wondered how it would have been written. The book ends when he tells Hal that he will tell the boys their mother is dead. Sure we know Bolan can escape and fight through countless enemies but how would he handle this type of scene. The writer really chickened out by not following through with this. A very good start to this trilogy. I had a lot of hopes after I read the first book in the Border Fire trilogy so my hopes are not that high. I hated the last book in the BF trilogy.

This is...a different Bolan book than usual. My suggestion: if you're going to read this, read the entire trilogy, as there's a lot of setup in this first book that makes it less as a stand-alone adventure and more of a part of a set. I didn't care for the storyline or the writing style, but then again, I didn't like Ultimate Game, either, which was written by the same author. I also didn't care for the fact that Bolan's hands were so tied by the parameters he was given. That said, the premise is not the usual drug lord story, and the plot twists are well plotted.

I really liked this book the action was right on plus there where some bad guys in this book worthy of reilly hating them. plus i kind of liked the battle scenes in this one.

Who wrote this outstanding book? I tore through it in 1 day. I really liked the story even though it involves the old "drug kingpin". What made the book so exciting was the writing style, the author would look at the same scene (in different chapters) from several different viewpoints. When you started a chapter you really weren't sure where you were going to be going. Can't wait for the next book in the trilogy.

Now this is one edge-of-the-seat, page-crackling, action-packed, jaw-dropping, mind-blowing book. There, I think I used all of the phrases used by Gold Eagle marketing.

This book was very good. It tons and tons of action. I really liked the location. I also like the missions Bolan had to do. I really liked when he invaded the house to get the kidnapped kids. He rocked and rolled and got the kids out safely. Good Job Mack Bolan!!!!!!!

Nightfire, is a really terrific Executioner novel. I had a hard time putting it down. I am fairly new to the wonderful world of Mack Bolan. I started with the American Trilogy, and was hooked. So far, this is the best Executioner novel I have read. Who the heck wrote this one? They need to write more.
