More than twenty separate terrorist attacks have hit Washington, D.C., and the horror show is just beginning. Doomsday U.S.A. is on the grim horizon, paid for by the jihad and brought to the country's doorstop by a ghost army of ex-Special Forces soldiers. Like a specter of evil, they're resurrected themselves to destroy their country for money.
For Mack Bolan, it's a one-shot deal. He has less than twenty-four hours to stop this army of twelve before backpack nukes and biochemical weapons bring America's worst nightmare to a full-blown reality.
The Executioner is more than ready to forfeit his life to stop the flow of innocent blood. But not before he has sent this army of the damned to hell.
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.
Mack Bolan takes on an evil version of The A Team, ex-special forces soldiers declared dead in a Vietnam friendly fire incident. The commandos have hired themselves out as soldiers of fortune, and are looking for one last big payday: teaming up with Muslim fanatics to commit acts of terrorism across Washington D.C., then holding the nation's capital hostage with backpack nukes.
Without any backup from his fellow Stony Man operatives, Bolan must uncover who is behind the terrorist acts and stop them. There is plenty of action as Bolan blazes a trail straight to the heart of the plot, with the book alternating between the hero and the criminal gang. The story is wrapped up pretty fast at the end, but it is a satisfying conclusion.
