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 have turned his idyllic hometown
into a new kind of war zone.
Duty calls . . .
Introducing an action hero "who would make Jack Reacher think twice,"
this is the first book in the iconic series of vigilante justice that
has become a publishing phenomenon (Empireonline.com). With more than
two hundred million Executioner books sold since its debut, the series
continues to stimulate. Gerry Conway, cocreator of Marvel Comics' The
Punisher, credits the Executioner as "my inspiration . . . that's what
gave me the idea for the lone, slightly psychotic avenger." The series
is also now in development as a major motion picture.
War Against the Mafia is the 1st book in the Executioner series, but
you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
