"D.C. Jones - Adventure Command International - Rescue At The Arctic Outpost" by Jim Beard
Just finished reading "D.C. Jones - Adventure Command International - Rescue At The Arctic Outpost" by Jim Beard, released by Becky Books.
Picking up about a year after the events of the first book in this series of adventures and characters strongly based on the original G.I. Joe action figures mass marketed to boys and their disapproving fathers; and to be fair, in some cases their equally disapproving mothers, grandparents, along with other adult family members. The titles of each book in the series is also based on the original play sets and accompanying toy gear and vehicles designed to put Barbie's Dream House to shame.
Feeling responsible for the death of a consultant and a recruit to the Adventure Command team, D.C. Jones has gone on a leave of absence and is missing in action when the team gets a request from the Soviet Union for assistance with a rescue mission in the arctic - where Adventure Command also has a scientific outpost.
Though it seems impossible, something is manipulating the weather in the Arctic, creating an area of tropical splendor, that threatens not only the mission, but the native Yetis in the region. There is also a NASA cover-up that they have to contend with concerning a discovery made during the last Apollo moon mission and signs of the snake cult again in a region of the world imperiled by a volcano.
Great pulpy gun, though I suspect the introduction of Dixie as the first female member of the team is going to raise someone's hackles with her thick Southern accent.
Recommended.
Four Stars.
