War Against the Mafia

The Executioner, Book 1

By: Don Pendleton

Narrated by: Shawn Compton

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 12 years, with 95 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 have turned his idyllic hometown into a new kind of war zone.

First in a long series

I first read this book when published in 1969. though the story is outdated I still enjoyed it again. Moving on to the next..

Reminiscing

Just as good as when I first read this book back in the early 80's. Don Pendleton is a fantastic writer.

Stv

Look this story , keep your interest though out the whole story.would recommend this book to anyone who has interest in the mafia. Overall the performance was outstanding.

Great beginnings

Great story and a great way to start a series. The was first published in 1969 so it was geared to those wild eyed American boys who had thoughts about going into war a hero. And that is exactly what Don Pendleton gave them, a hero. But in 1969 they did not really want to talk about sex because the sex scenes are horrible, just plain bad and boring. But the bomb scenes and fights are just plain catastrophic. I loved it!

Great Series!!!

Read some of these books as a kid many years ago. Decided to start at the beginnings Great story!!! Ready for the next!!!
