Exciting if unoriginal adventure

Ongoing trashy action hero Mack Bolan is back again in a STONY MAN adventure - one of many - I managed to track down in the UK. The premise is interesting, if somewhat done-before(Michael diMercurio and Stephen Coonts have done this in THREAT VECTOR and AMERICA respectively)- a stealth submarine is hijacked by a mix of Libyans loyal to Qadaffi, Ukranians rebelling against the new Russia and a group of Serb paid mercenaries. The sub sinks various merchant shipping in order to hijack valuable components for its SS-N-19 nuclear-tipped missiles. But where can it be tracked to if it's invisible to ordinary sonar? Why, enter the ultra secret STONY MAN covert ops team, featuring Mack 'The Executioner' Bolan, Jack Grimaldi leading a SEAL team, former SAS operative McCarter and a token Russian with technical know-how of the sub. Exciting action scenes on the sea and below it, in Serbia and Italy where operative Carl Lyons meets a Mafia clan who are out to destroy the enemy for personal reasons. And it's no more than 330 pages. Don Pendleton crams a Clancy-esque story into an easy-reading action story that's also suitable for older teenagers to read. The narrative is good, with not too much unnecessary detail and no subplots going off on tangents as you get in some novels on the same sort of subject. All in all, another good time-filler entry in a long-running series.
