| Plot Summary of Stony Man: Deadly Agent |
|---|
"The idea of a new Bohemian empire and its stronghold on a leaderless Europe is a very original plot which enhances this entry in the long-running MAck Bolan/Stony Man special ops series. Czech superbaddie Joseph Ryba plans to paralyse the US using germ warfare, so that their forces in Europe will be potentially weakened. Mack Bolan leads Able Team and Phoenix Force, his ultra-secret covert ops teams into action in Prague and also Plzen in the Czech republic to track down the bio-warfare weapons. Pace and plotting are suitably fast-paced, with some blazing action scenes very typical of Don Pendleton, who seems to write a book a month - does this guy ever sleep? A great holiday read!"
