What could be more exciting that a modern day search by wanna-be terrorists for a stash of old world plutoniumm? Caught my interest. Havoc starts off with a twist, causing the reader to question what history has taught us about the Hindenburg disaster. From there we are led on a chase through Africa, Atlantic City, Niagara Falls, Russia, Turkey and back to Africa again as Mercer, our rugged, fearless hero along with Cali Stowe the independent, educated, undercover government operative follow the clues set down in an ancient monument telling of the exploits of Alexander the Great. With them is Harry, an elderly friend of Mercer's who loves to gamble and Booker Sykes, a Navy Seal-type of mercenary. The action is quick. While the outcome is predictable, the story is a twist on the action thriller genre. Lots of historical data for the history buff. Men will love the idea of the strong, silent hero who get the girl in the end. The story held my interest although I have read better. Ladies who prefer strong and independent heroines will fail to find that here as Cali in the end succumbs to the macho power of the leading man and falls into his arms. Too predictable for my taste!
