Blaze Returns by Bill Runner
330 pages, Kindle Edition
Published December 1, 2021
Ex-deputy US Marshal Axel Blaze is doing what he knows best – dealing with trouble. Ten years in the special forces and five years in the US Marshals have made Blaze a trained investigator and expert in combat.
Blaze does not fight his opponents; he puts them down. He strikes first. And hard. Takes them out. Fast.
Deputy Marshal Carter has gone missing in Little Butte, Nevada. The Dawsons own the town. The Mexican cartel is moving in on their meth business. A gang war is coming to town. Director Flynn asks Blaze to return for one last assignment.
It is up to Blaze to find Carter before all hell breaks loose.
Review
What do you
get when you mix up the genetic material from Johns Rambo & McLane and add
a dash of Jack Reacher….Axle Blaze that’s who
Deputy
Marshal Carter has gone missing in Little Butte, Nevada and former Marshal
Axle Blaze is going to find him if it kills him (or more likely all those who
stand in his way)
With
a body count that puts the villages of Midsomer to shame this is fast paced and
violent as Blaze goes undercover to track down his friend.
The
plot races along at a terrific pace as Blaze goes head to head with corrupt
cops, a Mexican drug cartel and a family of criminals who own Little Butte.
Written
in an easy style with good characterisation of the lead character this was an
enjoyable romp which doesn’t need to be taken too seriously. There were a lot
of secondary characters which meant that they weren’t fleshed out as much as they
could’ve been but most of them aren’t around for long enough to get a detailed
back story.
The
author shows a detailed knowledge of unarmed combat as well as guns and knives.
An
enjoyable read that gets 4 stars from me
