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.

Mack struggles to stay alive trapped in a dirty hotel surrounded by clashing warlords, mercenaries and police. The city is a bloodbath on Africa’s war-torn Ivory Coast that Mack must escape and deliver CIA intelligence.
Continuous action and suspense are a hallmark of the Executioner series and this entry definitely delivers while also providing a story that shows Bolan is not infallible in facing overwhelming odds.

Airplane reading for the flight back from Wisconsin. The story of an engagement in West Africa that could very well have been the underpinning of any bombing operation in Iraq. There's a slight voodoo-like tie in to boot. Ghost written by Nathan Meyer. A saltine for your brain!

Really a 4.5 but can't give 4.5. It was a great read. Mack Bolan was up against it for most of the book, crooked cops, mercenaries, water buffalo and the weather.

great great story. The Executioner is put through hell in this fast paced action oriented story.
