Publisher's summary

"Action adventure icon" (Los Angeles Times) Mack Bolan, a.k.a. the Executioner, is back - and this time he's got backup.

After Mafia pressure destroyed his family, ace sniper Mack Bolan left the jungles of Southeast Asia to declare a new war on the home front. A one-man army, he wiped out the mob in his Massachusetts hometown. That was just the beginning.

Hunted by the police, tracked by the FBI, and carrying a price on his head, Bolan is on the move. After crossing paths with an old war buddy in Los Angeles, the Executioner devises a plan. He's going to round up the best sharpshooters, scouts, demo experts, and hardcore killers and clean up the West Coast. Ten ruthless soldiers in all, forged in the fires of Vietnam....

The Executioner's own Death Squad.

©1969 Linda Pendleton, Donna Pendleton, Greg Pendleton, Melinda Margulies, Jennifer Dalto, and Derek Pendleton (P)2020 Tantor

Full of action and heartbreak

The death squad is a fantastic book full of action and a group of men that are walking dead. One thing I didn’t get was what happened to Gadgets and politician.

Stands up well as entertainment

Realized with this second book in a long series, that society has had a lot of changes. Less smoking and few if any pay phones remain.

Pleasantly Surprised

I was skeptical when I downloaded this, but was very pleasantly surprised at the quality. The sex and violence reads like an old grind-house movie (in a good way). It’s not a cerebral read but it’s gritty entertainment and written better than most military fiction. The author doesn’t waste your time (like so many modern military fiction writers do) by name
dropping make and models of every little piece of equipment. Also, you can clearly see it was source material for THE PUNISHER which in my opinion was likely inspired by the Bolan Character. I intend to follow this series through, has all the vigilante satisfaction of a good Charles Bronson film.

Love it, More please.

I'm sooooo glad to be able to listen to one of my favorite series when I was a teenager. Mack Bolan, Carl Lyons, Gadgets Schwartz, and Rosario Blancanales, the start of Able Team.

Could not finish

Some stories age well, and some don not. This fits in the latter category, unfortunately. I usually love old hard boiled detectives but this is too much "war veterans" that I cannot relate to.
