1,517 books188 followersDon Pendleton was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, December 12, 1927 and died October 23, 1995 in Arizona.
He wrote mystery, action/adventure, science-fiction, crime fiction, suspense, short stories, nonfiction, and was a comic scriptwriter, poet, screenwriter, essayist, and metaphysical scholar. He published more than 125 books in his long career, and his books have been published in more than 25 foreign languages with close to two hundred million copies in print throughout the world.
After producing a number of science-fiction and mystery novels, Don launched in 1969 the phenomenal Mack Bolan: The Executioner, which quickly emerged as the original, definitive Action/Adventure series. His successful paperback books inspired a new particularly American literary genre during the early 1970's, and Don became known as "the father of action/adventure."
"Although The Executioner Series is far and away my most significant contribution to world literature, I still do not perceive myself as 'belonging' to any particular literary niche. I am simply a storyteller, an entertainer who hopes to enthrall with visions of the reader's own incipient greatness."
Don Pendleton's original Executioner Series are now in ebooks, published by Open Road Media. 37 of the original novels.

Good action-filled edition of the Mack Bolan franchise, with Bolan's quest to stop a drug smuggling ring leading him to a renegade Soviet agent's plot to cause a mass destruction event that would be blamed on the United States. There is also a fine subplot dealing with a pair of Soviet agents, one an old war horse and the other younger, as they track the renegade KGB agent to the Caribbean to stop him from putting his plan into action.
The supporting cast for Bolan is also admirable, led by a daring young helicopter pilot enlisted by the Executioner and a young woman whose brother's death puts her and young son in peril. I finished this novel in a weekend, finding it perfect for the backyard on a summer day.

Good entry in the series but I have to wonder. With a name like "Death Wind," you'd think there would be at least one fart in the book.
