"These folks ain't right, Sarge. Or I'd be gettin' a little chubby right now."
The Killsquad is a Deadly Dozen style strike force - let's meet the team:
John "Hangman" Smith - the leader.
Leroy "Lightning Bomber" Walker - ex-boxer convicted of murder.
Rollo "Icepick" Barnes - Harlem pimp and hit-man.
Tommy Williams - hillbilly bank robber.
Mac White - Bigot with a heart of gold, too mean for the KKK.
James Jackson - Fisherman and smuggler, framed for the murder of FBI agents.
Lucien Schnell - insane, serial killing, Nazi mercenary, in the brig this installment for attempting to desert in the first book.
The Preacher, Eli St. Judas, is on a mission to remove sinners from the Earth, starting with a shooting and firebomb spree by his followers on Times Square, the Preacher fapping away as he watches. He's enlisted the aid of a team of mercenaries, who have their own agenda.
Probably the thinnest plot of any Men's Adventure book I've read, and that's saying something. Some training, then off to raid the Preacher's orgy compound to see what they're up to. They leave the Preacher alive for some reason when they discover the plot to kidnap Russian diplomats. They run to foil the kidnapping, then run back for another raid on the Preacher's base.
Action scenes like midwest cooking - not that great, but there's a lot of it. Well written but way too quick - this may be the first book that I wished was longer than it's 167 pages.
Used paperback from Amazon.
