3-STAR RATING IS BEING GENEROUS!, Sep 5 2007

This review is from: Mack Bolan: Blood heat zero (Paperback)
Mack Bolan, Number 90, from Peter Leslie, June, 1986, is one of the most atypical books that I've read in this series.
Mack Bolan on vacation? And on vacation in Iceland? I had to go to the internet and print a map of Iceland and even with that most of the places mentioned in this book do not appear on the map!
The book is well written but other than that not much can be said for it. For the first 100 pages Mack has very little dialogue with any other character. He is totally alone. He has several fire fights but not much in the way of conversation takes place. We have snow, we have ice, we have glacier, we have glacial moraine, we have an underground river, but much of the time is spent with Mack in a kayak. Yeah, that's correct, Mack Bolan in a kayak. Sans jets, helicopters, et. al. Don't look for high tech in this book.
A reader will read more than half the book before getting any indication as to the mission which has been forced on Mack Bolan. This is one of the strangest books of the Executioner series I've read. And I did have an experience I've never encountered before: had to force myself to finish this totally uninteresting book.
Read it at your own risk. I love the Mack Bolan books for the best in men's adventure reading, but this book is a clinker. I guess they cannot all be winners.
Semper Fi.

If you have not read any of the Mack Bolan books this is a good one to start with. I have read all of them from 1970 till now whenever they have come out and have never really been disappointed with any of them they are better reads then a lot of other books..
