General Fiction (Adult) | Mystery & Thrillers

Description

Sometimes, anger needs to be unleashed.

Blaze gets a call from ex-US Marshal Mitchell. He has seen two ghosts roaming the streets of San Francisco. The Cady brothers. Ruthless arms traffickers and killers Blaze and his Marshals’ team had taken out two years ago. One brother, Carson, died trying to escape. The other, Dexter, killed a Marshal and barely stayed alive, once Blaze was done with him. Dexter ended on death row, awaiting execution.

When Blaze lands in San Francisco, he discovers he and his team are on the Cadys hit list. A gang of hitmen has taken the contract. They made a mistake. When the game becomes no holds barred, when nothing is off limits, there’s nothing to hold back Blaze’s fury.

Following the success of Blaze Returns, Lethal Force, Hard Target, and Mean Streets, Bill Runner is back with the fifth novel in the Axel Blaze thriller series. The fast-paced, brutal action in the series is attracting fans of thriller novels worldwide.

5 STARS

The opening pages of Chapter 1 starts things out with a bang.  And the intensity just keeps on rolling. The world-building was also excellent.   Prepare yourself for a surprise twist when it comes to at least 2 people you think you've figured out.

The Cady brothers, Carson and Dexter are NOT your usual run of the mill baddies.  They've taken steps way beyond that. Clever and ruthless should be their middle names.  They think they are unstoppable but they keep forgetting about Blaze.  Well, not exactly forgotten about Blaze and his team since they are on their hit list. But they did forget how smart and ruthless Blaze could be, especially when you come after his family.  Dexter's thirst for revenge has caused him to make dangerous mistakes in the past.  Is he going to make a final mistake that will get him killed?

The intensity level holds up throughout the story as it adds more depth to the people on Blaze's team.  So does the willing and unwilling people who aid Blaze in his pursuit.  You'll have to find out which camp Slick is in but I will say he was quite the interesting character.

It all comes to a satisfying ending and a good Epilogue.
