Stony Man #53
Countdown to Terror
RAPID DEPLOYMENT
Terrorists from war-torn Kurdistan are poised to unleash an agenda of global violence that is nothing short of mass murder. Well trained and highly motivated, they have attacked top military bases and raided caches of Patriot missiles. The Stony Man teams are deployed to locate the weapons, and shake out the terrorists. But a threat of this magnitude will not be eliminated quietly, putting the agency on the fine line between removing the threat, and being exposed to the nation it serves in secrecy.

About the author
Don Pendleton
1,517 books188 followersDon 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.
