If you want a fast moving story featuring an action-packed hero, look no further than Commander Alex Hawke; his remit - to save the world from a meglamaniac hiding in the Amazon jungle and planning to destroy America and its allies.
Mix in the troubles along the Mexican border with illegals intent on recovering their land of yesteryear and Hawke has his work cut out.
Having escaped once from the mad mullah in the jungle, he returns with his own band of heavies, overloaded with state of the art equipment with which to destroy such people. He brings with him a Scotland Yard Inspector and another giant American right-hand man.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the local sheriff and his deputy are discovering that the illegals are also very well organised terrorists with a desperate plan to kill the President.
Not unconnected, therefore, with the maniac in Brazil, who, using both his own army of men and robotic machines together with the Mexicans, is detemined to use a nuclear device in Washington to fulfil his path to glory.
Fortunately, early martyrdom calls in the shape of Hawke and his merry band of anti-terrorist mercenaries, so it will give nothing away to say that the day is saved.
However, the author provides the reader with some good escapism. Ignore the impossibilities of it all - as you would with Commander James Bond - and just enjoy the ride.

This is a great find...a believable hero in a story that could have been ripped from
today's headlines. Great fun and now I'll have to go read the whole series! Where
is Hollywood on this?

Not a bad holiday read as it is very fast paced and is easy to pick up and put down.
I would reccomend this book for somebody who would like a nice easy read and is not to worried about a believable story.
Not in the same leauge as other action authors such as Andy McNab or Chris Ryan.
