Intercept

Well good but not great. This is basically a chase story where a number of stolen circuit boards which when fitted to long range missiles will enable same to avoid incoming defence missiles and the subject of the chase is the inventor of the boards who has sold out to some Arab dictator. Pretty much all regarding this title has already been said so just a couple of things when reading this. It's a good read and yes I agree the Bolan name could be pasted with whatever and it could be a title in any series out there, it's not it is here and yep it is a worthy entry I reckon. A LOT of characters introduced here but within the context of the title a lot of them are discarded when the storyline moves along to another location so are easily forgotten whilst progressing. The important ones of course remain and well some pretty original stuff here where the big guy's side kick this time is a Mossad agent (so been there before), and Absolutely drop dead gorgeous (I'm guessing this is a prerequisite in these titles), but her cover entails being a super/nude model and yep if you are into the big guy's character you will enjoy some of the scenes here between the two. This title has a brilliant ending (1 star added) I certainly didn't pick it hence the star added and well you just have to read it for yourself. Recommended reading.

Bolan has the task of stopping a man named Wallace and his stolen circuit boards from being transported to a fictional Arab country before missiles can be upgraded with the boards. Much of this novel is about Bolan's pursuit of Wallace, starting in England, moving to France, into Italy and Yogoslavia, and finally the missile silos themselves. Much adventure happens along the way, the story moves along at a fast clip, and the overall plot is good and the action decent. Bolan has a sidekick for the whole novel, a woman Mossad agent, as well as working with a number of intelligence officers along the way, so there isn't much room for Bolan to work solo in this book. One weakness in this novel is Bolan's character could just as easily have been any other random agent in any other action series. But it was a fun adventure nevertheless. The ending I thought was innovative, and it was a good page turner and gripping conclusion. Intercept is not as good as this author's other superBolan novels, but it is a fun and fast paced read, I liked it.

An Arab leader has medium range missiles loaded and ready for attack. The only thing lacking are electronic counter measure circuits. An unscupulous British businessman has been found who will supply them. Bolan must move to "Intercept". Problems abound with this book. First, Bolan is on a mission that he is unsuited too. Since when is he an intelligence specialist? His specialties are penetration and elimination. He is not at his best second guessing this bad guy. And then he does a horrible job. The villain makes it from Britain to France to Yugoslavia to the Middle East all one step in fron of Bolan. In the end, Bolan decides to go to where they know he is headed and wait for him there. Why not do this in the beginning? The unreality doesn't end there. The ending of the book is totally ludicrous. Bolan making a 250 yard pistol shot is well beyond reality. The whole book just disappoints. Good writing is wasted by a terrible plot and unbelievable actions.

This one was very good, but was long. It had some really good parts, but then again, some parts could put you to sleep. The plot was different, and you probably will never find in another Bolan book again. Overall, for the older books, it was average.

good book slow in the beginning. but good at the end.

One of the better Furst books. I enjoyed it very much.
