1,524 books190 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.

Hard not to miss the days when the Overton window allowed a series like this, which was functionally right-wing military/industrial propaganda at this point, to focus on opposing Nazis. Which surely must have started to strain credulity as the 60th anniversary of World War II was quickly approaching.
It's not a bad Bolan shoot-em-up: sporting just the right amount of globetrotting interspersed with clamorous derring-do. It is, however, most interesting for sitting at the inflection point of modern American history. This was published in September 2001. I assume the next several books in this nearly-monthly series were already in the pipeline when the world changed forever, but I am looking forward to seeing how Bolan tries to adapt to the times in the final decade (and a half) of his adventures.

It's weird how often we are told how great Bolan is in bed.
