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.
In writing his iconic Executioner series, Don Pendleton turned his
lone-wolf vigilante into a bestselling phenomenon and "spawned a genre"
that still influences artists today (The New York Times). Gerry
Conway, cocreator of the Marvel Comics avenger, The Punisher, cited
the novels as "my inspiration . . . [the] modern equivalent of the
pulps." More than two hundred million copies of the Executioner books
have been sold--and a major motion picture based on this classic action
series is now in development.
Battle Mask is the 3rd book in the Executioner series, but you may
enjoy reading the series in any order.
