Blood Price — Don Pendleton

SNAKE PIT

Hoshab Nassim, a ruthless Mideast leader, is holding eight international hostages, one a top-level CIA operative. Soon there will be "trials" followed by "executions." In the language of terrorism, Mack Bolan knows this means torture and murder.

Bolan leads a rescue mission into hell: brutal desert sands crawling with Nassim's Cobras, Uzi-toting nomads and the growing suspicion that one of the hostages is a traitor.

Rescuing the innocent is priority one--after that, the Executioner will be only too happy to do the world a favor--take Nassim down.
