Stinkeye

I REALLY enjoyed this one. This was the first "Stony Man" story I have read, and I was impressed. I was familiar with most of the characters, having read several of the "Executioner" series, but it was cool to see some other characters come to light (haven't read any Phoenix Force). The action was great and the plot was somewhat believable. I only have one crtisism though. I thougt the final confrontation between Bolan and Morrison could have been more exciting. It would have been interesting to see how Bolan would have taken this guy out one-on-one. I think VanCook copped-out there. The ending was great. Blancanales' and McCarter's final lines were classics. On Stinkeye's Scale (1-10...10 being best) I give it an 8!

I liked this book for the same reason that a lot of people DIDN'T like it! I liked that it was not a standard Bolan adventure, that it didn't follow the tried and true Bolan formula ... I thought it was a nice, refreshing change of pace, and a really good story, too. On Stinkeye's scale of 1-10 (10 being best) I give it a 7!

Haven't we read this before? This is a cookie-cutter Executioner effort by North. He sticks to the tried and true Executioner formula but in mostly uninteresting ways. The action scenes are VERY formulaic, and the plot is just boring. In the beginning of the story, there is a meeting of the arms dealing syndicate that is a dreadful and unintentional (I'm sure) parody of the meeting of SPECTRE in "Thunderball". What's that? You're profits are down? Die! You question my authority? Die! How does one find good collaborators these days? Anyway, on Stinkeye's Scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best) i give it a 4. (yawn)
