Phoenix Force, with West German ace Karl Hahn replacing the disabled Rafael Encizo, races to South Africa to defuse an international time bomb whose mechanism has been triggered by the kidnapping of an anti-apartheid U.S. senator and a black American human-rights activist. Plunged into a dangerous world of intrigue, racial tensions and terrorist killers, the force leaves politics to the politicians and comes in fighting.
Author
Phoenix Force is a series of action-adventure novels first published in 1982 by American Gold Eagle publishers. It is a spin-off of the Executioner series created by Don Pendleton. Phoenix Force is one of two neutralization teams working for Stony Man, a top-secret anti-terrorist organization. As with The Executioner, the Phoenix Force novels have been written by a succession of authors under the pseudonym Gar Wilson. In 1991, Gold Eagle combined Phoenix Force with another Executioner spin-off series, Able Team, and launched the Stony Man book series, which is still being published as of 2005.
