This book strays far from the normal Executioner pattern to make a very different plotline. What should have been a typical starting blitz results in Bolan wounded, exhausted, and on the run. The rest of the story sees a brutal a Mexican drug gang threatening and searching a tiny border town to find the mysterious man who burned their drugs but didn't get clean away. This plot allows for a lot more focus than usual on a good-sized cast of supporting characters, both heroic and corrupt. Who will survive the eventual siege, and will support arrive in time? A refreshing switch from the usual Mack Bolan plotline, but the character stays true to his personality and reactions, having to rely on different strengths than usual from being wounded and on the defensive and without his usual trunk-full of heavy weapons.
