I read the above review, and really, I couldn't disagree more. THIS is the kind of stuff I'm talking about! Doug managed to take Gold Eagle's stupid word limits, wipe his ass with them, and shove them down their throats. I loved the book from beginning to end. It felt like a complete story, not one that was cut short abruptly, and was a page turner from beginning to end. And the biggest thing was something I noticed in another one of Doug's Stony Man novels-he takes a noble cause (abolishment of WMDs) and have the antagonists bastardize it, so you sympathize with them but at the same time you root for the good guys to triumph. I can always suggest what could have been done more given a more lenient word limit, but within the parameters, Doug masterfully took the pieces and molded them together into a riveting work, appeasing both his publishers and at least this particular reader, and I know I'm not the only one. Well done, and keep up the good work.

Doug Wojtowicz's books are always far too well plotted for the page constraints put upon him. He always does what he can to pack as much plotting into the novels as he can (and a damn sight more than all the other Bolan novelists, which is why I only bother to pick up his novels), but it's like he's stuck leaving out prose that would completely round out the novel. I would implore Gold Eagle to reconsider the length of the SuperBolan novels if only to allow authors like Doug to plot until complete blossom. Having said that, it was a fun read. Action packed throughout, allusions to Bolan's war on the KGB (as well as to one of Wojtowicz's previous works), a well-written intimate scene, and a race to the finish ending. I did feel that the intimate scene between Kaya and Bolan could have been better set up, but again, I blame that on novel length and not on the author. There were a couple of hints that it would happen but it accelerated fairly quickly. Also, after the final scene, there was a sudden ending that begged an epilogue, but at this point, the word limit had already been reached. Bottom line: -Gold Eagle: EXPAND THE WORD LIMIT FOR SUPERBOLANS. They're barely thicker than Executioner novels now! -Doug: Keep doing your thing, man. Kick ass.

The Bolan parts were done decently, as always. But I have to say, I was FAR more interested in reading the Stan Reader parts. I would kinda skim when I was reading about Bolan in North Korea, but once I'd hit the Utah parts, I was glued to the page, partially because I liked testing my vocabulary. Heh. Without the Reader portions, I'd probably give this book a 7.5, which I'd round to 8. But the inclusion of Reader brings it to a solid 9. Too bad you can't make recurring characters...

I understand nowadays that the the Bush Administration is not popular, and that the art of our day reflects this. However, there is a fine line between dissent and left-wing propaganda. 24, Season 5 tried to play with this line and fell over the deep end, so to speak. Doug Wojtowicz apparently didn't make the same mistake. He works wonders with the characters, the backgrounds, the intricacies of it all, makes a political statement (a real patriot is not a jingoist), and still manages to pull off a damn fine story, without falling into the politcal propaganda category. So why did I dock one point? Doug, Doug, Doug…there are no colonels in the Navy. C'mon, you and I both knew that. That's why you got nine stars instead of ten-a glaring yet minor mistake. But it was still a damn fine read. You keep upping the ante in the Stony Man universe.

See, now this is what I'm talking about. This is what Wojtowicz was made to write. Full-length novels in which he can get all the explosions and all the intrigue and all the justice into a large enough volume. There was one chapter that seemed to be cut off for some reason, but I do not know who is to blame for that, so no points will be deducted. Overall, excellent work.

I'm giving it nine stars. There was nothing wrong with Doug's writing. There is something wrong with having him write a bunch of Executioners when he obviously should be writing marathons of SuperBolans! The plot for this one could have been expanded had he been given more room to work with. Cest la vie. Good work, Doug. :P

Hey, I liked the book. This one even had a little romance in it without Bolan as one of the parties. The characters were well fleshed out, and the plot didn't stop. I enjoyed this one, along with all of Doug's previous Bolan works. He seems to age like wine, getting better as he goes.

I really enjoyed this book. This was pretty good, with crisp, quick action. The only problem I saw with it was the pacing. Mr. Rogers doesn't quite have the pacing of other authors like Guenther or Wojtowicz. That lost two stars, but overall, a good read.

Douglas P. Wojtowicz could possibly be the new face of action novels today. His novels have enough realism so they're not ridiculously fake, and at the same time, they are packed with over-the-top action, gun fights, and fist fights. A few of these modern day novelists could read a Wojtowicz novel and learn something from it. This novel had style, friendship, and action, as well as a determination not to lose. The pair of Wazdi and Kowalski (which remind me of another pair of brothers from different mothers... :P) were fantastic. This was better than "Blood Trade," which was Doug's first novel, and one of the best damn Executioners ever. Fantastic! I hope to see more from this skilled author soon.

This book had SO much potential. It seemed as if Mr. Somhiel was trying to cram a SuperBolan's worth of story into an Executioner format. I got lost within the story very often, trying to figure out what the hell was Bolan playing at, and the conclusion was rushed. The action scenes are nice, though, and we see more involvment from Stony Man Farm. It was good, but like I said before, SO MUCH MORE could have been done with this.

It's nice to see a Bolan that's more properly paced for realism. Now, I don't have an actual problem with Wojtowicz style Bolans (in fact, I happen to like those a lot) but realism is nice to see once in a while. Hopefully, I'll be able to grab parts II and III soon.

Amazing. I happened across this book in a used book store, and I thought I might chance a glance at it. Hot damn! We get to see all of Stony Man in action. Hell, I started reading Bolan way after the KGB wars. I get to see April Rose, Konzaki, Keio Ohara, and all the people who died either pre-KGB wars or KGB-wars era. Read this book. It will be worth your while.

I really liked this one. I have to agree with Douglas P. Wojtowicz, though: cheating on your wife and kids is not something to brag about, especially with the prostitutes he calls "Little Brown Fucking Machines." He probably did it out of spite toward his ex-wife. And dissing on other organizations (I plan to try to go Delta myself. GO ARMY!) wasn't cool. But this book was pretty good. I didn't go as far to deck three stars for cheating on his wife, but got damned close with two.

I just finished reading the book fifteen minutes ago (Doug, you know who I am since you went to my website) and I just feel like using one of the Rogue Warrior Richard Marcinko's acronyms right now: KATN. For the non-Roguish among you, this means Kick Ass and Take Names. Emphasis on KICK ASS! This is hands down, the best damn Bolan book I've read. I haven't read any of the original Pendelton books, but out of the new people, this is the best. There were a few errors here and there, but the action covered that pretty quickly. There was a lot of characterization, some humor, Alvin Warren was a funny character (LOL) but kicked ass when the time called for it, and I see involvement from the other elite from Stony Man: Able Team's Carl "IRONMAN" Lyons, and the Black Badass, Calvin James. I spent $3.75 on this (that's the advantage of having a military ID at a Post Exchange) and I say this book was worth every frickin penny. I can't wait to see the next novel from Doug. Maybe my rating is biased since I sorta know Doug, but I've seen his writings before on this very website. He has the potential to take something to hardcover (maybe not Bolan, since I've never seen a hardcover Executioner, SuperBolan, or Stony Man, but something for sure). Great job, Doug. Keep it up, and I hope you make a decent amount for your first novel.

The book was all right…there was enough shooting and the body count was high enough…lacked some booty call though, so that loses one point…Right in the middle of the story I got lost, so drop another point…let's see…that makes eight, huh? Well, I guess Blood Stone gets eight stars. Good job, Mr. Newton, but remember to add some booty call in your plot and don't lose the reader.

This book was mediocre. If the author had used more descripton on weapons and people, and maybe describe some of the more action like sequences, it would have scored higher. It didn't suck, but it wasn't the best.

For Special Services was really well written. For once, at least I think, James Bond was actually in love with a woman than just using her for sex. Bring back his old arch nemesis, SPECTRE, and you have a great novel. John Gardener did a fantastic job with it.

This book was excellent. The best parts were the Nazi hunting in South Africa and when the Executioner confronts Gerhard Steuben and kills him. I highly suggest this book for anybody who likes a good shoot-em-up story.

Rogue Warrior: Green Team was the best Rogue Warrior in the whole series in my opinion. Full of betrayal, secrets, and just plain shoot-em-up action. As Janus, who reviewed Rogue Warrior said, Hail to the Rogue.

I read this book after getting it from a free offer. Once I started, I couldn't put it down. I mean, who doesn't like driving off road, meeting beautiful French women, and hunting scum like Osama bin Laden's henchmen?

This was the first 007 book I ever read. I liked the characters Mary Goodnight, Felix Leiter, and Scaragama. This was a pretty good book, and it influenced me to read more 007 books by Ian Fleming.
