Vanishing Point

Stony Man #82

by Jon Guenther, Don Pendleton (Series Creator)

A covert group of warriors dedicated to protecting America against acts of terror and violence perpetrated by enemies of the free world, the commandos of Stony Man enter each new battle backed by advanced cybernetics, sophisticated weaponry and orders straight from the Oval Office.

A violent Japanese cult has united with Iraqi terrorists, but the ultimate strike remains unknown. The stakes get higher when a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Pacific disappears from radar. On board is the X-51, the most advanced unmanned aircraft ever built, hijacked along with the ship by the rogue Japanese scientist who designed it. As the USS Stennis becomes a war zone and the crew succumbs to a poison attack, a covert three-man unit called Able Team is now the last line of defense against a global shock wave.

Reviews

A Japanese cult has aligned with Iran, to hijack an aircraft carrier. Before you can say Under Siege, Able Team gets on the job.

Some excitement.

[Bob · Rating 2 out of 5]

Military action in the pulp fiction mode wherein there is a plot to capture a US Aircraft carrier on a secret cruise to test a new and advanced unmanned aircraft and the efforts to recover it. Light read, light on character and heavy on weapons description and the effects of their use. Good for a filler when nothing else it at hand at the moment.
