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. I am simply a storyteller, an entertainer who hopes to enthrall with visions of the reader's own incipient greatness."

Bolan is at war with the mafia, again in this over long, 347 page Super Bolan. This first came out in 1990. So Mack was pretty much busy elsewhere for the past decade. You know, terrorists and commies everywhere. The mob was forgotten in the 80's. I guess the bosses at Gold Eagle thought it was time to attack the mob again.
If you have read one, just one of these Bolan books, you know just what to expect. If you are like me, I still come back for more. You know the drill, mob man is introduced in one chapter. In the very next, he's rubbed out. Repeat until the mob makes a plan to kill someone close to Bolan. Next chapter... you got it. The one twist in this one was that the man hitter, hit-man, is not a man. She is a tall beautiful black woman working for the "Families." Nice time waster non the less.
