Mark Hardin wants to know why old people are dying who are involved in a real estate scheme. An old friend asks him also to help his enemy, the mob deal with a problem. If you were ever wondering when a Penetrator book would focus on knife throwing, this is it. Lots of details on his implement prowess.

Sold as being in Florida. Hardly there. The word timorousness was in the book. Men's adventure is educational. The penetrator was the enemy number one. His killings and destruction were so high there was now a dedicated penetrator strike force task group stood up haha. The general public loved him. He liked to eat blood rare juicy steak everyday. He enters a knife throwing competition. Absolutely ridiculous. All governments and the mafia world are trying to find him. Multiple senior citizens are killed in Florida. The penetrator puts his trusty pistol through a mob scums nostril, through the brain, pinkish gray tissue slammed against a wall. A mafia snuff film of a girl blown apart. Six bikers try to attack the penetrator. Not a good idea. Bring a cleaning company to mop of the fluids. A mob guy cops a bullet and drops a bottle of champagne. The cork pops spewing lovely liquid. What a waste! Another mob killer can do 200 reps with 524 pounds on the bench. Fuck me. Oh and he can satisfy women to multiple orgasms. He can do anything.

retro action, The Penetrator at his best

Another men's adventure series from the 70's. Pretty much standard action, violence and sex. However a good standout is that the hero is healed and trained by an old Cheyenne Indian in the ancient mystic warrior ways of the Cheyenne. Recommended
