Special surveillance on a top Star Wars systems designer turns into a vital security mission for Mack Bolan. Intel predicts an imminent Russian strike on the munitions man. It's up to the Executioner to stop it.
But the cryptic words of a dying KGB agent tell Bolan that Stuart Wingate is running his own game - and he's not telling anyone the rules. Something bigger than money has convinced Wingate to sell out, and both the KGB and the CIA want in on the deal.
The truth takes the Executioner back to his own fiery Vietnam. Where once again his warrior's blood pumps to save the innocent. . . and convict the damned.
Don 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.
