Deadly Contact

Mack Bolan the Executioner #339

by Don Pendleton (Series Creator), Mike Linaker (Contributor)

A ten-year-old mass execution in Bosnia has suddenly resurfaced to haunt the perpetrators. Members of an association of businessmen, which included Americans, who were willing to get their hands bloody for profit are mysteriously dying. When a translator for the Stony Man team is innocently caught in the conspiracy, she turns to Mack Bolan for help.

One of the men has used evidence from the killings to blackmail his fellow murderers. Bolan's mission is to identify the men in high places who killed for money and power in the aftermath of a brutal war. The Executioner's hunt to find the proof leads to a showdown in the mountains of Colorado, where blinding snow and bloodlust mix with lethal force.

About the author

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.

[Glen · Rating 2 out of 5]

A massacre during the Bosnian conflict of the 90's is coming home to roost, and someone is willing to kill a whole bunch of people to cover up.

Again, not really a Mack Bolan book.

I put this up there with some of the best Executioner books because it was lean and action through out that is where the Super Bolan have a problem because there dull points where the story is stretched out
