From Idaho forest fires to the Congo, Mack Bolan book #371 is another book in the long running GOLD EAGLE series, The Executioner. This book written by Russell Davis concerns hijacked gold from mines in the western U.S. being smuggled via ship The Spirit of Brazzaville to the Congo. Our man, Mack Bolan, is trailing the stolen gold that a group called the Katanga Swords led by one Jacques Lecroix has heisted, once the gold reaches upriver in the Congo, 'President Chimola' will use it to solidify his dictatorship and foster further revolution.
Bolan as usual stays in contact and depends on Stony Man Farm in Virginia, but once out of the U.S. cannot rely on even the local CIA in Kinshasa. Somehow working own his on he must recover the stolen gold and prevent the revolution Chimola has planned for the region. Tall orders indeed!
Another fine read introducing readers to the region of an African nation, The Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kinshasa. My research shows that while the author, Russell Davis, has written no other books in the Executioner series, this book does a fine job of continuing the long standing series. A great few night's read from GOLD EAGLE books, best adventure books being published.
Semper Fi.
