Good book with a great storyline.highly recommend this book to anyone who likes action and adventure with lots of interesting characters

All of the Axel Blace books take one story line and run it to the end. No multiple subplots, etc. Blaze is a great character and would certainly be friends with Jack Reacher

I really liked this story. Good read. But there were some technical details that were glossed over other than that it was good

Axel Blaze to the rescue again! Another no stop action/adventure worth reading! Reading about the things Blaze gets caught up in make me wish there really was someone around that can take out the trash. I just love it when the good guys can meet the bad guys on their own terms and the good guy wins out! Basic " good vs evil!" Those kinds of outcomes that makes Blaze great reading. Author, Bill Runner definitely hit a home run with this addition.

Another outstanding fast paced adventure for Axel Blaze. Wrong place at the right time! A one man wrecking machine, believes in good over bad, and doesn't like bulllies!Looking forward to the next one!

I was waiting for this book months back and went about reading it as soon as I got it. Axel Blaze breaks the bad guys like no one can. This novel is as fast-paced as the others. The action begins on page 1 and doesn’t stop until the epilogue, when Blaze finally indulges in some romance. Bill Runner has a mastery over action scenes. The way he describes each action in detail, it brings every fight to life. The action is brutal as Blaze doesn’t believe in being nice to the bad guys. His philosophy, You have to pay your dues, makes sense. I’m a fan of these thrillers. Keep on writing, Bill Runner. I’ve just pre-ordered Mean Streets.

love the series

Just as good as the previous Axel Blaze thrillers.This time the adventure takes us from deep in the Appalachian Mountains to busy streets of Washington DC. Axel is chasing a pack of mercenaries as he tries to save an innocent software engineer from being sent to prison for life. No spoliers here. Highly recommend this book. Eagerly waiting for the next Blaze thriller which is out soon.

Brought this for my Dad, he said that he enjoyed the book and is now looking forward for the next book.
