Much more of a mystery than the others up to this point. Bolan is drawn to Colorado and finds the military, police force, and the mob apparently coordinating to bring him down. Facing overwhelming odds the Executioner begins to wonder if indeed all these forces have been organized solely for him. The body count is high as the Ski slopes run red with blood spilled as Bolan fights for survival and tries to solve the mystery of what is happening.

Book 25 in the Executioner series is an above average entry. Think Die Hard in a ski resort and you have a sense of the plot, with Mack Bolan going up against an army that includes both mercenaries and the Mafia. It’s taut, violent and really enjoyable, with a storyline that delivers in terms of the scale of the conspiracy Bolan is up against. Great stuff.

Our crime fighter heads to the Rockies, where whispers of nefarious deeds have been leaking out. Once there, Bolan finds that he's stepped on a spiderweb, and the hints were there to bring him in, hence the "Kill-Zone."
Great action pits Sarge against a large force of former soldiers who could give our hero a run for his money.

This was another fun story in the series. It wasn't anything phenomenal, but standard to the series.
The plotting was good in this one. It had a couple clever twists. Early in the story, Mack is being followed by the mob in Denver. He leads them outside the city, but Mack learns that he has actually walked into their trap. Highly trained military units attack and Mack blows them all to hell. Realizing he may have just killed US Soldiers, Mack fears his long game had just ended.
There were a few good action scenes, but like always, the ending was weak. Around page 140 we learn that Mack is up against about 300-highly trained soldiers and in the last 5-pages he mows em all down like ballpark grass.
I've got thirteen more to read to finish Don Pendelton' original series. Now twenty-five books in, I can count the ones with great endings on one hand. These books are like reading comic-books without pictures.

I really liked this outing for Bolan because of how he ingenously infiltrated and then thwarted this boldest mob coup yet. Too, with each successive story we gain more insight into the nuances of Bolan's psyche & how he justifies his outside-the-law actions against the tyranny of this "invisible second government."
In those earlier situations, the enemy always wore civvies and the others carried police badges. It was possible to draw a line between the two forces and to confine the war to the true enemy. Bolan felt no enmity toward the cops and other legal authorities. They were simply upholding the law. By any standard of law, Bolan was wrong and they were right. Bolan understood that and accepted it. He also understood his own imperatives. He was not, in his own understanding, a criminal except in the sense that he evaded due process of law. He would not compromise that position, and he would not knowingly attack those who were simply discharging their duties under the law.

This one takes Mack Bolan out of the usual urban environment and drops him into the Rocky Mountains as he finds himself pursued by an elite mercentary group. It's an interesting premise, with Mack initially uncertain if he's being chased by actual soldiers (which means he would refuse to shoot back) or why the Mafia went to the huge expense of equipping and training several hundred soldiers.
Snow storms, snow mobile chases and inconveniently parked armored cars give the action scenes a unique feel in context to the rest of the series. The actual motivation of the Mafia/mercenary team-up is a good one, providing tension both when Mack (and the readers) don't know what's going on and then amping up that tension when we do find out what's up.

Closer to a 3.5, all of the Pendleton written ones are good, and this one is really good though the ending was quite abrupt. This one has a large paramilitary force in Colorado partnered up with the mafia who kind of tricked Bolan to come there as a test. Way to large of an operation for just Bolan, who needs to find out what else they are for while trying not to be killed.
Recommended for fans of the series, it is a solid tale, just again the ending seemed a little rushed though I do understand the concept of it.

An excellent men's adventure series from the 60s, 70's and 80's. The first 38 books are outstanding but then the series is taken over by a bunch of new writers writing under the name of the original creator and they take the series into a new direction I did not care for. The first 38 books are very recommended

More of Mack Bolan, the Executioner series. This is a bit different. He is not targeting a Mafioso specifically, he finds a plot to kidnap the President and or his family. Even though the Mafia is supportive, Bolan finds he is faced with former military as the opposition.

Don Pendleton's Executioner series is without a doubt the most popular and influential men's adventure series of all-time, with hundreds of titles and spin-off books published and hundreds of millions of copies sold since it launched in 1969. Pendleton created a cultural phenomenon when he dreamed up the "dark knight" named Mack Bolan—a one-man army, holy warrior and vigilante fighting endless battles against the forces of organized crime and terror that took the lives of his family.
I've read several Executioners from the early "New War" period in the 1980s, after Bolan had shifted his focus from fighting the mafia to fighting international terrorists and the KGB with the backing of a "black" US government agency, but I'd never actually read any of the original 38 installments authored by Don Pendleton until I picked up a battered copy of Colorado Kill-Zone (Executioner #25, 1976) from a small-town store recently to see what all the fuss was about. I guess I assumed that stories about Bolan hunting mafia goons across the USA would be boring and repetitive compared to him hopping around the globe fighting terrorists and enemy agents, so I never tried the early books. Based on the quality of Kill-Zone, I think it's safe to say that this was a bad assumption.
As the book begins, Mack is rolling down a remote road in the Rockies in his "war-wagon", gearing up to do battle with an enemy he can't see but knows in his gut is very close. The battle is soon joined, and to Bolan's shock and dismay, this enemy is using military equipment, tactics and discipline, much unlike the mafia thugs he's used to dealing with. Mack manages to surprise them with the war-wagon's awesome firepower, destroying some and driving the rest away; he wins this round but knows a larger battle is soon to come. Investigating the wreckage and doing some scouting around, he soon discovers that there is a secret base nearby that houses hundreds of what appear to be US military personnel, all focused on trapping Bolan in a Colorado "kill-zone". Further detective work, with assistance from his old friend from the Justice Department, Hal Brognola, and high-ranking mafia informant Leo Turrin, uncovers the identity of the enemy paramilitary's leader and the existence of a conspiracy to take out someone very, very big.
More exciting action soon follows, as Bolan pulls off one of his trademark deceptions to evade the net the enemy forces have drawn around him and makes his way through a snow storm to a deserted ski lodge where the enemy leader supposedly wishes to meet him. There he meets the nordic beauty Giselda, whose brother has been taken hostage by the paramilitary, and together they make a narrow escape by snowmobile and skis but are unable to get off the mountain.
At this point Bolan, realizing that he's trapped on the mountain, surrounded by the paramilitary force, gets philosophical while deciding on the best course of action. He again opts for the strategem of deception from inside the enemy net, impersonating troopers and officers, discovering their radio codes, gathering intel about their larger plot, and sabotaging their operations from within. The enemy objective is revealed to be something worthy of a James Bond novel, the paramilitary commander makes Bolan an impressive offer, and the story moves a little too quickly and smoothly to a satisfying conclusion.
I don't know how typical Kill-Zone is of the Pendleton Executioners, but it was a much bigger plot than I expected, more like something from the New War and Stony Man era where Bolan routinely defeated super-villains and saved America. I certainly enjoyed the book; I liked how Bolan relied on deception and detective work as much as sheer firepower, which made it more realistic. The conclusion felt a bit rushed and inconclusive though, almost like it was the first act of a larger story arc.
There is something brilliantly unhinged about Pendleton's Bolan, the way he fearlessly and obsessively pursues his one-man war, creates his own stateside reality every bit as lethal as his days in 'Nam, obeys his warrior's "gut" like it's a mystical superpower, and justifies his endless spree of murder and terrorism in the name of personal vengeance and protecting society. I love Bolan's high energy and focus on his mission; it reminds me of another favorite fictional character, the super tough armed robber Parker, who is just as obsessive about his own personal war to enrich himself and take revenge upon anyone who crosses him.
Another attractive thing about the early Executioners is the beautiful cover art of Gil Cohen. Here the cover scene is one of the most exciting moments of Kill-Zone, as Mack is skiing away from a squad of snowmobile Bolan-hunters, weapons strapped to his parka, one pursuer being obliterated while another grenade is about to be hurled at the others, the beautiful Giselda by his side. You don't see covers like that any more, in these days of dull, generic, lifeless, photographic cover art that looks like it has been generated by an algorithm.
There is just something addictive and wildly entertaining about these books. Partly I think it's the 1970s setting, when there was a kind of freedom, adventure, creativity and cynicism in paperback fiction that you don't really see today. But more so I think it's the compelling character of Mack Bolan and the genius of Pendleton's world-building and story-telling. The upshot for me is that I will probably have to collect and read the entire run of 38 Pendleton books (and probably many more), just as I have done with other favorite series such as Parker and Quiller. Stay tuned for more reviews of this all-time classic men's adventure series.

Good read.
Even under the worst possible circumstances, the executioner stands ready and able to protect was what the US is all about
The only critique is that the relationship to Unky is not taken to completion. One can only consider the relationship, and how it could work out in the life of the Executioner.

August 21, 2021Plot:
This was a fun one. Kind of like Jersey Guns without Bolan being injured and with a lot of snow. Bolan has been suckered into a trap, drawn to Colorado by whisperings of a "supersoft operation." In reality, a military-trained force of hundreds of soldiers (yes, hundreds) led by a decorated Captain who Bolan knew from Vietnam is working for the Mafia to take down Bolan once and for all -- or so we think. Actually the whole lure-in-Bolan-to-kill-him mission is just a readiness test of sorts for the real mission: Kidnapping the president and the whole first family. Twist!
What makes this like Jersey Guns is that Bolan is run to ground by a Bolan-hunting party, having to save himself and the lives of two civilians caught up in the whole mess. Fortunately, a sudden blizzard provides the cover Bolan needs to sneak around and infiltrate the enemy forces, defeating them from within.
Note to self: I wonder if Bolan saving the president will factor into the official pardon that's coming at the end of the Pendleton era books.
As ridiculous as the plot to kidnap the president seems, it serves a really interesting story function. Finding himself up against an overwhelmingly superior force, Bolan's instinct is to use the blizzard to escape to live to fight another day. But when he learns of their real intentions and the blizzard prevents him from getting word out to save the president (who is already in Colorado for a ski vacation with his family -- why the Secret Service wouldn't rush him out of the state the second they learned that Bolan is in town leaves me scratching my head, but that's a whole other conversation), Bolan realizes that he is the only one who can prevent the Mafia's sinister plan! So he has to do the hardest thing he's ever done in this 25-chapter war against the Mafia: He must try to defeat an army of top soldiers led by a seasoned veteran who is on par with Bolan himself. Can he do it???
Yup. And he does it in 9 pages.
Well, I guess he actually makes the decision to take on the whole army by himself with 40 pages left. But most of that is infiltration and info gathering in order to form his plan, which he executes in 9 pages. This is some crazy kind of writing that Pendleton does in this series.
One last thing I'll say about the story: I really enjoyed how early in the book Bolan questions himself and whether or not he can continue his war. After surviving that initial ambush, Bolan learns that some of the ambushers he killed were US military. At that point, he's unsure whether they're actual military, former soldiers turned mercenaries, or mobsters disguised as military. It's that first possibility that haunts him for a bit, really shakes him up. It makes me think about how interesting it would have been if Pendleton had ever explored what would happen to Bolan if he did accidentally kill a good guy. Sadly, a series this profitable leaves no room for the main character to cross that line.
Guest Appearances:
Hal Brognola and Leo Turrin both feature prominently in this story. Bolan only connects with them by phone, but we get a few scenes of them (Brognola and Turrin) interacting outside of Bolan's storyline. Most interestingly, after Bolan misses a check in call and is unreachable for like half a day, Brognola and Turrin conclude that he must have finally met his match. They don't know about the blizzard, and he's never been this late for a contact. And so they actually mourn his death. It's quite revealing in a characterization sense. Beyond their personal affection for the man, they were both heavily invested in Bolan's ability to possibly do what they never could: Defeat the Mafia. I think it's a surprise to both of them and makes for an interesting insight into these two mainly peripheral characters.
There's also a short 2-page phone call with Toni Blancanales, sister of Death Squand veteran, Pol Blancanales.
Timeline:
The main clue I could find as to time of year is the reference to the president's tradition of traveling to Colorado for the beginning of ski season, the first real snowfall in the state. Historically, that could be as early as October but more likely November. With respect to how much time has passed since Canadian Crisis, Bolan mentions "ten patient days of quiet probing" in Colorado before the ambush that opens the book. But that doesn't tell us anything about what he was doing before that.

A much better outing this time around.
The drama of the mafia takes a back seat to a government conspiracy involving kidnapping the President and of course Mack Bolan is there at the right place at the right time.
Kill-Zone was one of the more action packed of this part of the series, even if makes Bolan far more of a Rambo character than previously seen.
Regardless, only 13 more to go until we don’t have to deal with the mafia anymore.

This time the stakes were high for Mack Bolan in this exciting adventure. In this story Bolan has to take on a Mercenary Group lead by a military man with the same skills Bolan has but is 100% Mafia. My favorite part was when he killed Thomas Scicoli, the Lieutenant of the Mercenary Group

Started well and could have been a lot better at the end but kind of fizzled out. Still a good cleaner for the next longer one.

Just old time adventure
You know what you are getting when you read an Executioner novel. Loved to enter Clint Eastwood as our hero.
