Neither amazing nor terrible, but fully readable and moderately enjoyable, Hell’s Gate finds Mack Bolan gravely injured and stuck in Canada while awaiting a visit with his brother, Johnny. Since this is an Executioner novel, it’s not long before Bolan is quickly involved in a mafia plot involving guns, porn, and overall shady dealings. Together with his brother, a prostitute, and a pornstar, the group bands together to take down yet another mafia stronghold and further advance Bolan’s vengeance upon La costa Nostra.
Hell’s Gate is nowhere near the pinnacle of great literature, hell, it’s not even near the peak of great Executioner books, but, like I said, it is still a fun book. Tom Arnett puts a bit more plot and story into this one, relying a bit more on drama and intrigue to keep the story moving, rather than the usual spats of violence these books are known for. Not that there isn’t some great moments of gunfights and bloodshed…there’s actually some newer elements added this time around. Plus, the idea of Bolan finally being fallible and having to rely on others to do things is a nice touch, giving a tiny amount of humanity to the man from Blood.
