Title – Blaze ReturnsAuthor – Bill RunnerGenre – ThrillerWord Count - 81,350Rating – 5 stars out of 5No. 01 - 2022Posted 1/7/2022My Impressions: Good action yarn if not taken too seriously.Main Characters:Axel Blaze – Ex- US Army special forces and ex-US Marshall. A kick butt action hero.There are many support characters who are good, bad, or evil.Axel Blaze was called upon by his ex-US Marshall boss Mark Flynn to investigate a missing Marshall named Carter who was looking for two criminals in the Marshalls Witness Protection Program who have disappeared. The initial scene set the tone of the rest of the story as Blaze calmly savaged two armed thugs who threatened to murder three people in a small bar after murdering one in cold blood. The action escalated when Axel arrived in the town where Carter disappeared, and the bodies soon stacked up like cordwood.Little Butte is an uninhabited peak about a mile north of the Reno Highway. So research and details of the town are pure fiction.The story is fast paced as Axel kick’s butt to learn if Carter is alive and where he might be held. He goes up against the Dawsons. A father and two sons have bought most of the dilapidated town and started building a new town next to it. Axel soon learns the Dawsons make methamphetamine and are involved with a Mexican drug cartel. The story is a no holds barred fun read if you accept it as tongue in cheek.The editing is off by American standards but is written by a Brit and conforms to those rules and idiosyncrasies.Sentence structure is mostly okay.Character development is good enough for the mostly supporting characters and okay for Axel.Details and research are sparse, but this is a fictional town.The plot is fast paced and violet and held my interest throughout.The writing style is fast and choppy, doesn’t waste words, and fits the flavor of the plot.Vigilant Reader Book Reviews.
