Suicide Mission by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Another in the non-series of Wild Bill Elliot vs the bad guys. I don’t know why this isn’t an official series. There are a whole set of these and should be. The Johnstone Clan have so many series. What’s one more?
This is much like others with drug cartels out to destroy America, as they are, but adding middle eastern types aiding the effort. which they also are. The reality slides away as one person is asked to help find one involved and then that one person goes out to build a team to really go after the bad guys. What happens next is more than far fetched, but fun to see the bad guys in trouble, as we have never seen happen.
One big problem with the book is a lengthy short story length background stories of each helping Wild Bill. Far more information than needed, though each is an interesting story. Here the Johnstone trademark great character development goes too far. Each story is so interesting, maybe this should have been a short story collection.
The writing is Ok. the settings are better than most Johnstone books.
Bottom line: I recommend this book: 6 out of ten points.
