A CIA black-ops team and their cutting-edge drones are destroyed in a mysterious plane crash. Suddenly, world leaders and innocent victims are being assassinated one by one…by similar drones. To find the shadowy enemy, Mack Bolan must outgun and outfight mercenary defense contractors, terrorists and deep-cover traitors. But when the president of the United States becomes the next target, the Executioner races against the clock to bring the masterminds’ reign of slaughter to a killer end!
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.
I have been following this series since the beginning. I really enjoy the way Mack gets the job done. The people that assist him are great too. I just hope that his brother Johnny can get into the action sometime in the future. As always great read.
As always Don Pendleton and his legendary character Mack Bolan aka The Executioner do not disappoint when it comes to the genre of action/adventure fiction.
