Fourth Angel Cheap - Hardcover

Libyan terrorists calling themselves the Green Jihad massacre the passengers of an Israeli airliner in the Athens airport. Among the casualties are the wife and children of Simon Quarry, a wealthy British publisher. When governments fail to act, Quarry, drawing on his Royal Marines combat training, becomes a shotgun-toting avenging angel bent on tracking down and destroying the Green Jihad. The novel gets off to a slow start with lots of stage arranging and the introduction of numerous unappealing characters including the hero. Hunter's considerable talent for describing spell-binding action comes to the fore when Simon Quarry finally gets down to the serious business of murder and revenge. Then the pace picks up quickly and continues at fever pitch right to the bullet-riddled conclusion. Solid entertainment; recommended for all popular fiction collections.
