Title: New Orleans Knockout
Series: The Executioner
Author: Don Pendleton
Rating: 3 of 5 Stars
Genre: Thriller/Action

Synopsis:
Mack heads to New Orleans to shake things up for Mardi Gras. However, once there, his plans of mayhem and carnage are interrupted when he finds out that the last 2 survivors of his Death Squad [from book 2] were undercover and have gone missing. Bolan teams up with the little sister of one of the Deathsquad and puts priority on finding and rescuing them over killing the mafia.

My Thoughts:
A thoroughly enjoyable romp through New Orleans as Bolan must balance rescue and revenge.

These books are a formula, but one that really works well for me. So unless the book really stinks, or somehow rises above the formula [neither is going to happen very often, if at all] I know I am in for a quick thrill ride with acceptable grammar, plot and thrill parameters.

The synopses for the books really do an adequate job of summing them up.
