The Executioner, Don Pendleton Creates Mack Bolan
Don Pendleton Creates Mack Bolan50 Years Ago, Don Pendleton envisioned a fictional character that would soon become a literary bestseller and a phenomenon through which the new action/adventure genre emerged. Mack Bolan, a professional soldier, highly trained and skilled in the use of military tactics and weapons makes a life-altering decision after the tragic death of his family--his war is at home, not in the bloody fields of Vietnam. Mack Bolan takes on a one-man war against the evils and corruption of the Mafia. This book gives Don Pendleton's insights into the creation of his fictional character, Mack Bolan, and explores why Bolan continues the popularity with readers many decades after he was created. Linda Pendleton, wife of the late Don Pendleton shares a look-back at two inspiring men, one, a talented author, the other, a skilled fictional hero. Don Pendleton's Original Executioner Series of 37 novels, and a Mack Bolan Short Story, continues to be published for fans and new readers to enjoy.
Willing to Kill, the Executioner
Willing to Kill- "From first word to last, Don Pendleton is in pure form-as is his creation: The Executioner!" Jon Guenther, AuthorAt the beginning of his impossible war, Mack Bolan had not envisioned himself as the arch-foe of the Mafia world. He had simply reacted to a terribly disheartening situation-in the same way in which any man of like talents and ideals would have done-without knowing that soon he would become the most feared and hated enemy of the crime kingdoms.Bolan had learned to live one heartbeat at a time-with no thought beyond the next battle line-or beyond the next police trap. The men behind the badges were, in Bolan's understanding, "soldiers of the same side," but in the...
War Against the Mafia
The first book in the classic vigilante action series from a “writer who spawned a genre” (The New York Times). Overseas, Mack Bolan was dubbed “Sgt. Mercy” for the compassion he showed the innocent. On the home front, they’re calling him the Executioner for what he’s doing to the guilty. In the jungles of Southeast Asia, American sniper Mack Bolan honed his skills. After twelve years, with ninety-five confirmed hits, he returns home to Massachusetts. But it’s not to reunite with his family, it’s to bury them—victims in a mass murder/suicide. Even though Bolan’s own father pulled the trigger, he knows the old man was no killer. He was driven to madness by Mafia thugs who ...
A Study of Action-adventure Fiction
Employing hitherto closed access to the histories of several publishing houses, this is an investigation of the action-adventure novel, chronicling the rise and fall of small enterprises which first saw the potential in such an approach to fiction. It focuses first on the creations of Don Pendleton, tracing his 38-book series The Executioner, and examining the evolution of the series under a growing number of writers. The study also includes a commentary on the many Mack Bolan imitators.

State of Evil
ROAD TO ARMAGEDDON A call from an old friend sends Mack Bolan to the Congo, armed and ready to extract a young man from cultists calling themselves The Process. Led by a fanatical sociopath who believes his ultimate power lies beyond the divine—but also in the hands of an elite security team of Uzi-wielding enforcers— this self-styled prophet's most recent holy act involved removing all traces of a U.S. congressman's humanitarian visit, including the bodies. Making his way through the jungle with his reluctant charge in tow and hunters on his back, Bolan's instincts kick into high gear, quickly turning the rescue mission into a race to stop the detonation of an atomic weapon before the African cult leader's personal Judgment Day leaves no opportunity for second chances….
