Another good one by Jon Land

"The Valhalla Testament", the 10th printed novel by Jon Land, continues his tradition of non-fluff, action-packed espionage novels. This one is similar in nature to his others (madman wants to control the world, unlikely hero rises to the occasion, a double-agent appears to stop the hero, etc.), but it is still a worthwhile read. It's not Land's best, but still better than many similar novels available.This one involves a suspended NFL player whose sister contacts him on urgent business. Soon after arriving, the sister and several others are slaughtered. The player then tries to avenge his sister's death. Little does he know that her murder was a part of a much bigger plot.He soon meets with a female agent named Chimera whose initial responsibility was to kill him. However, they soon join forces to try and topple the madman. The male hero in this story isn't as well-developed nor as inspiring as Land's other male heroes. The female hero is a perfect blend of brains and brawn and works well. Overall, the storyline is very good, but not Land's best. Still, if you are a fan of Land, it's another "can't miss" novel.
