Rating: 5 out of 5

With "Alliance of Evil", M.H. Saregent has found his place along side some of the best thriller authors! The plot could be taken from the headlines today or show up in the headlines of tomorrow. It, indeed, might have already transpired. The the shadowy world of covert government agencies anything is possible and more likely...probable.In this, the 5th installment of the MP-5 series, Richard Gonzales (Gonz) and his tightly honed crew face the real possibility of a terrorist/drug cartel merger. Three distinct and well-planed plots, bend and weave into one great story and a satisfying read. Taken from headlines as recent as this Spring (2011) the story blends 'what you know you read somewhere' with 'you think you read that somewhere'.The characters are clean and sharp. The dialog is realistic. The book reads smoothly.If you haven't had the pleasure of reading Sargent or are leery of starting a series in mid-tale...don't be. "Alliance of Evil" is a good stand-alone as well.I am happy to give M.H. Sargent and his MP-5 crew five stars.
