Aces Abroad by Leanne C. Harper, Michael Cassutt, Victor Milán, Gail Gerstner-Miller, Edward Bryant, Melinda M. Snodgrass, John J. Miller, Walton Simons, George R.R. Martin, Richard Kriegler, Stephen Leigh

4.0

Although I really enjoyed this book, I did find some of the plots attached to the various countries rather hackneyed - voodoo in Haiti, Islamic fundamentalists in the middle east - these tended to make some parts a little stale. Also, the attempt to insert some social concerns into the text - the treatment of indigenous people in Guatemala, the prevalence of AIDS in Africa - was a bit of a distraction from the text. I also found the linking passages by Xavier Desmond to be a bit of a slog.

All that said, I did find myself quite often caught up in the story and would definitely recommend this book, if not quite as enthusiastically as the first three books in the series.
