Mack Bolan the Executioner #330
Dual Action
Open Attack.
Mack Bolan is on the trail of a lethal mystery weapon used to destroy a U.S. military tank in Iraq. The supergun has proven armor-piercing capabilities and has fallen into the hands of a neo-Nazi group in the American Midwest. The group is hell-bent on using the weapon to further their racist cause. Their target: Israel.
When Bolan attempts to raid the Aryan Resistance Movement's training camp in Arkansas, he quickly realizes he's up against an enemy who's both resilient and elusive. Now he's running out of time as he races to locate the weapon and stop it from reaching its target. But he comes up empty and now the enemy is aware that someone is on to them. It's a grim, frustrating mission that boils down to gambling on a hunch. The payoff depends on the Executioner's timing, skill and the luck that comes with playing the odds for a living.

A solid book in the series with a 'superweapon' that could actually exist in the real world. Mack Bolan is called in to track down a gun that fires a round which is a cross between a mortar and the hammer of Thor. It has changed hands from a Muslim Terrorist to a bunch of home-grown Ratzis and skinheads who all need to be sent to the hereafter.
Fortunately, this is the Executioner's specialty.
Spoilers ahead!
I don't normally write up spoilers, but the use of twins (which can be common) makes for a really good read here. The author, however, threw in a mother that only Norman Bates could love which seriously twisted the two brothers into one guy that is basically a serial killer with a fascist bent. Really fun to read, but you will cringe at the final reveal.
Highly recommended for fans of the Executioner books and other Men's Adventure / Vigilante series.
