Good start to a new series with a superhero leader and ex-military soldier. After getting into a shoot out with the mob, Kane escapes to Arizona where he meets a former soldier who fought in a battle to save the embassy in the Philippines; now a deputy in the town that is run by a Mexican cartel. Kan joins up with the deputy and puts together a team of former associates to take on the cartel and put an end to their reign.

It's a shoot em up type of story where the team kills hundreds of the enemy and losing a few of their own. My only complaint is the author's constant mention of weaponry, nomenclature, and ammunition size; it's like hitting a nerve each time it's mentioned.

I already ordered the next book in the series and hope it'll be better than this first installment. The story kept my interest as I continued to root for the good guys and felt sad when one of the characters were killed. ( )
