The world's largest dams are being blown up, cutting off vital freshwater supplies. As massive walls of water rush down valleys, obliterating entire towns and villages, the Able Team and Phoenix Force commando teams move with lethal determination to find the faceless mastermind behind the mass destruction. With Mack Bolan missing and presumed dead, and more innocents dying by the day, Stony Man vows total and complete retribution.

Stunningly good and so much better than this author's previous in this series #41. WHY? Very good and believable plot where this wacko IRA terrorist COULD actually do what he sets out to do. Mack is down out of contact and presumed dead. Tens of thousands of people are affected by these terrorists strikes and what goes on behind the scenes will disgust you but is a very valid view of politicians today. Many many excellent action scenes here folks and if you are into them some excellent writing here you will enjoy some very good ORIGINAL stuff in this title. Really enjoyed the ending where all of the sub plots come together for a brilliant finish. Some of the guys take a pounding in this title Manning, MacCarter and especially Mack which gives the reader a fantastic insight how these warriors continue through the pain barrier to continue going on. Loved it highly recommended. Excellent title name here as well consistent with the actual title.

Liked the plot of dams being blown up and Bolan being feared dead. But, I think how it all unfolded didn't sit right with me. How the teams followed the clues to a group of mercenary's hired to do these deeds didn't seem real enough. I would have figured a more Al-Qaida-like group that's more organized. But, the action between the teams was very good, especially the motorcycle chase in Turkmenistan.

this was the first book of any of the series that i ever read. needless to say it got me hooked with the action and description of weapons. Good enough to get me hooked on phoenix force and mack bolan.

This was a very very good Stomy Man, one of the best Ive read in a while. I was actually worried that Mack might not be coming back, and wow what a page turner.

Whats up with the Kawasaki on the cover? Reversed the picture accidentally?

Forget about the cover art. If you're an Encizo or Manning fan, this is the book you've been waiting for...definitely a good read.

Some good "wounded" scenes, but I didn't enjoy this dam book too much. What's up with that cover art, anyway? Is that guy riding into a mirror? - Dave

Maybe they were afraid of getting sued if they spelled it the right way...These days i guess you have to watch that sort of thing, besides that i think this book kicked alot of ass! Good plot and it was cool having the dam blow with bolan on it!

This book was outstanding. I loved every minute of it. I was waiting to get called for in the doctors office. I read the book there. It was so good. Lots of action for both Able Team and Phoneix Force. I hope Star Venture is good also.
