Survival Reflex. Don Pendleton

“Hell on Earth and Eden, all rolled into one.”
So far, it wasn’t Mack Bolan’s notion of a holiday.
It felt like coming home.
Bolan had grown up in a jungle, spilled blood there and earned the nickname that would follow him through his life, even beyond his early grave. That jungle was located on the far side of the world, but all of them were more or less the same. The predators and prey varied by continent, but it was still survival of the fittest in a world where no quarter was asked or granted.
The one rule carved in stone was kill or be killed. The Executioner knew that rule by heart. Forest primeval. He knew that it would eat him alive, given half a chance.
And somewhere in the midst of it was Nathan Weiss.
