Cheesy 80s action and I loved it. Read these as a kid and I give it 3.5 stars for nostalgia sake.

Action-packed pulp. I picked this up in junior high school and I wasn't much of a reader at the the time. But I finished this in a week, and got hooked on the series and related books. I dove right into reading from there.

A fun installment in the series by the main author, William Fieldhouse. He likes using something nuclear and ninjas, this time he uses both. A terrorist organization consisting of Japanese that were born with minor defects because of nuclear fallout. They have trained to be ninjas and are out to sabotage nuclear power plants in the US to get them to stop their nuclear program. A KGB sleeper agent teams up with them and gets them funding, arms, and information. Phoenix Force has to figure out which plants they are after and stop the terrorists.
Highly recommended for fans of the series, a really good early entry.

Cheesy 80s action movie in novel format. Explosions. Cardboard characters with racist stereotypes. Disproven phobias about nuclear energy.
Loved every minute. Definitely reading more of these!!

This was an entertaining read. This still somewhat stands up with the debate on Nuclear energy going on still today. And, with the increased threat of what may happen if a small terrorist group decides to try to bomb a nuclear power plant.

This book is good. Of the first 4 books, this one definitely has the most engaging plot and the bonus of an interesting villain who is actually developed upon just enough to meaningfully connect him to the story line. In these books, the villains tends to be akin to "whack a mole": they mostly just pop up and the lads knock em dead.
To be sure, it has the basic limitations endemic to this genre (e.g. cliches in much of the dialogue, limited segue ways into our out of scenes, rather shallow characters - sorry Katz et al; I love you guys, but it's true) that would make someone who reads this from a "literature" standpoint wince. However, for what it is, it's well done.
Overall, this is an engaging story from start to finish with a noticeable improvement in the level of detail provided throughout the various scenes, which results in an improved sense of imagery compared with the first few books. Moreover, the dialogue - although hardly free of the aforementioned cliches - is refreshingly more mature than in the earlier books. In short, I can see already why Fieldhouse became the true "Gar Wilson".
Bravo - well done here. It's a very solid 4 and I'd probably add a half star to that if I could. I absolutely recommend this if you're just cherrypicking the better ones.

An interesting look into a zealots mind and why they may do what they do since this title in the series featured zealots in the form of ninjas. The first time the Force encountered ninjas and it didn't disappoint.
By this time in the series, the team members personalities had pretty much been established and it's interesting to see how they each react to the events they encountered. McCarter's brashness both in handling their 'allies' and his way of getting to the final fight was truely enjoyable.
The action never dulled and the scenes with all the technical nuclear discussions didn't and still won't dull a reader.

William Fieldhouse really knows how to write an action novel. This is by far the best Phoenix Force book I've read. More action, less gun owner's manual. The team take on a group of pissed of Japanese terrorist called, yep, The Tigers Of Justice. This is the kind of book that makes you want to read more of this series.

A spin off series from his Executioner books. This series follows several secondary characters that band together. Recommended
