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.

"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.

Mel Odom also penned this Stony Man tale, but where SMIII was like a high stakes action movie, this one sorry of had a Clancy-TV movie vibe with heavy focus on his technological warfare and lots of secondary characters.
Unfortunately, that served to drag down the pacing of the book, as our heroes seem to get minimal time in the novel.
The premise is actually not too bad - European oligarchs are trying to make it look like the new Russia and the USA are shipping dangerous chemical weapons across Europe in an attempt to break the economic stranglehold the two superpowers hold over the continent.
There are some good set action pieces as well, especially a highway shootout with Bolan and Brognola, but unfortunately overall this book didn’t even come close to the end excitement of 3.
