Another superb offering in the Executioner series. A Nazi plot dating back to the end of WWII rears its ugly head and threatens to destabilize the world. Of course it’s up to Mack Bolan to single-handedly neutralize their tyrannical plans.

Fast paced action, not much character development, but fun to read. Fiction and fact are blended well together, to from an interesting plot.
