This is basically 3 novellas thrown together done in a style of Anne Rampling does Mack Bolan... The stories revolve around a former Navy Seal - Mike Harmon - trying to settle into civilian life and college. In the first story our hero witnesses a snatch and grab on a college coed. Going along for the ride our hero ends up rescuing a large bevy of stark naked college girls in a slave ring while killing a huge number of Middle Eastern terrorist types. In the second story Harmon has to stop a terrorist cell with a nuke on an island in the Caribbean and again does a bang up shoot 'em all dead job. Following this Harmon then assists in tracking down a nuclear weapon that has been set to explode in France. In all three stories the action is good and the story is engrossing.

The problem is that between the first two stories we spend about a hundred or so pages descending into a scenario where Harmon takes two young ladies onto his yacht and explicitly teaches them the do's and don'ts of bondage and sexual slavery in fairly explicit terms. The whole section is unnecessary and almost made me put the book down. In the middle of the third story Harmon basically rapes and brutalizes a Russian prostitute and then tries to improve her lot in life out of guilt. Again... unnecessary.

If you like military action and a basic American hero kills the terrorists in a world hopping rampage - this is a good book. But don't read it if you have a problem with bondage and multi-partner sex scenes.
