Synopsis

The Executioner, a lone-wolf vigilante "who would make Jack Reacher think twice," takes his war on the mob to a new level—Empireonline.com

Once a Vietnam military hero, crack sniper Mack Bolan is now a vigilante, driven by the death of his Massachusetts family to exact vengeance on the mob. Waging war on the West Coast, the Executioner amassed a ten-man army as backup. Seven are now dead. Two are in jail. Only Bolan remains. With a bounty on his head, and every cop in Los Angeles on his tail, Bolan decides to erase his greatest liability: his face.

Under the knife of a former army surgeon, Bolan is transformed. With trademark cunning, he infiltrates the Sicilian syndicate that butchered his friends. In cozying up to the boss's daughter, Bolan's plan of revenge has never been so intimate. The Executioner may have a new look, but he's got the same attitude. Soon his fury is going explode, and strike terror in the very heart of the Mafiosi.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Edwin

Fine entry in the series as Pendleton really fleshes out his Mack Bolan character and the the plot focuses more on intrigue and espionage than on pure action, which can become a bit monotonous and predictable. My favorite of the initial Executioner trilogy.......more

Goodreads review by Steven

Anyone who knows me well knows I grew up on the post-Don Pendleton entries in the Mack Bolan/Executioner franchise, particularly those written by Michael Newton, Douglas P. Wojtowicz (the man who taught me the bulk of what I know about writing), and Chuck Rogers. I picked up some of the older ones f......more

Goodreads review by Silver

Some of the books have been released in audio. And I'm loving them. Shawn Compton does a great job voicing Bolan. This is another sad and brutal one. Why does it hold up? Because the cartels of today are the Mafia of the 60s and 70s--brutal, viscious, and deadly. They don't care who gets hurt.......more

Goodreads review by Bobby

The literary equivalent of one of the "Death Wish" sequels. Follows the formula but focuses on action more than new territory. He gets plastic surgery to gain anonymity and the mafia torture and kill in an attempt to find out what he looks like.......more

Mack Bolan doesn’t just walk away from explosions— he causes them!......more
