Description Medellin: Acapulco Cold ( Rick Fontain 3) by Bill Fortin

In March 1987, the CIA’s Operation Acapulco Cold took on the Medellín cartel. The journey would be dangerous. The alternative for not recovering the nuke would be too horrible to imagine.  

A theft occurs as a result of President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev’s treaty agreement in January 1986. Russian SS-20 medium-range missiles were removed from Eastern Europe and their nuclear MIRV packages removed. A shadow group inside the failing Russian government steals three of the nose-cone assembles.

A Russian named Geonov is charged with selling one of these devices to the Medellin cartel. The asking price was $40 million dollars in cash. Pablo Escobar did not even blink when he was offered one.  Operation Acapulco Cold is the detailed action taken by the CIA to address this life-altering situation.

Guest Review Medellin: Acapulco Cold (Rick Fontain 3) by Bill Fortin

Guest Review by Mark S.

‘Medellin: Acapulco Cold’ is the third book in Bill Fortin’s gripping series about CIA agent Rick Fontain. This installment in the series follows Rick as he tries to track down a stolen nuclear warhead through the United States, Mexico, Russia, Malaysia and other countries all over the world. This case ends up being one of the most complex and life-threatening of Rick’s career. Fortin’s writing seems to get better and better with every new novel that he releases. This book was no exception in that regard.

In ‘Medellin,’ Fortin’s writing is descriptive, compelling, snappy and witty. I found myself alternatively biting my nails and laughing out loud at Fontain’s quick one-liners many times while I was reading this novel. There were no parts of this book that dragged or bored me. It kept up a tense, action-packed plot throughout its entirety and kept me guessing about what was going to happen next till the very last page. These stories remind me a bit of a mixture of the James Bond films and ‘Die Hard’ with some Alex Cross thrown in for good measure. I love the descriptions of CIA operations and technology. All of those details seemed genuine and added to the story quite a bit. I didn’t feel lost or like I couldn’t understand what was happening at all.

I don’t want to give too much away and spoil the entire plot because it was too awesome a read for that. This was just the kind of thriller I love, the kind that has equal doses of tension and comedy as well as an international setting. I’m hoping that Rick Fontain has more work to do in the future and that there will be more books coming out in this series. This one gets 5 stars from me!
