Excellent action novel This is a excellent, pacy novel with which seems to build relentlessly - no mean feat given the numerous action scenes within it. The author of this episode in the franchise is one Glenn Williams who also conjures up an impressive portrait of s country - Djibouti - which is always teetering on the verge of anarchy. All the supporting characters are well drawn with lives and feelings of their own. If I had one wish it would probably to be given a little more on the ambivalence of Bolan's emotions on the actions he is forced into as the Executioner. These are hinted at but possibly with another 170 novels in the series can't be explored fully! Anyway this is gripping stuff - reminiscent of the early Alistair MacLean - and very well written.

This is the Bolan they don't write anymore. If you haven't read it, do what you have to do to get it and read it- it's the best of them all.

Summer of "76" first Bolan book I read. I was hooked.
