Editorial reviews

Dan Streib’s Breakneck Hawk series stars Michael Hawk, a dashing journalist whose ability to find intrigue is only matched by his appeal to beautiful women. The Deadly Crusader is the first installment of his various adventures.

Newly freed from a Soviet prison, Hawk heads to a Greek island to investigate the mysterious recluse who inhabits it. In his search, he crosses paths with KGB agents, who want the recluse’s fortune, and the beautiful daughter of a former dictator.

Suspenseful and tightly written, The Deadly Crusader is narrated by Chris Sorenson, whose crisp delivery suits the story’s breakneck plot.

Publisher's summary

Michael Hawk is a cool-handed crusading journalist with a knack for poking into the crevices of the world and coming out with a sensation. The smell of mystery excites him as much as the scent of a beautiful woman.

This time it leads him to a smoldering Greek island, a mysterious villa with a multi-million dollar secret and a ravishing heiress who bequeaths him its key - and the curse of a fugitive life. Michael Hawk is an investigative journalist with a knack for getting the scoop. Part Anderson Cooper, part Indiana Jones, with James Bond’s magnetic charm, he saves the day and gets the girl in the end.

Poor choice for good entertainment

The point is made clear: De gustibus non est disputandum, or more typically heard: there's no accounting for taste.
