"Of course this is over the top pulp fiction, but it's a fun ride and just what a guy wants in his books sometimes--to quote Q from the Bond movie "Never say Never Again" "gratutious violence and sex." Or paraphrase him.
The story is Mack Bolan (a U.S. Army sharpshooter) comes home from Vietnam to bury his family--his father killed his wife and daughter, wounded his son, then killed himself because he was in debt to a Mafia loan shark. Bolan declares war on the mafia, and sets out to take down the the local Family. He uses his military training to do that.
It's better than many of the other men's action books that followed in its wake: Death Merchant, Butcher, D.C. Man, etc. I eventually got tired of these books, and moved on to what I consider better, ones. But I do have a nostalgia for the early Executioner books."
"Over the top pulp fiction. I've actually read about 30 of these books when I was in the Navy and I think they were literally in order, i.e., 1-about 30, but I don't remember exactly. They're basically mindless reading. Super heroic human blows away mafia in every episode in a hail of 4 bazillion bullets. A one man A-Team."
"Mack Bolan is the genre king of these mercenary seeks vengeance against . Mack's issue is with the Mafia. Since these books were written in the late 60's it all revolves around manly men shooting, stabbing, exploding etc the bad guys. There are some 60's references and attitudes that date the books and some outmoded terminology but it works. Mack is very good at what he does and what he does is execute people, usually from a distance. Not that he's ineffective up close mind you. He sees the world in black and white, not shades of gray. Either you're good or evil, if you're evil he'll kill you. This is not a complex book with plot twists we're talking about here. It's around 170 pages and can be chewed on in a short amount of time. It's worth the read just for the amusement. Oh, if you like it you're in luck cause there's over 100 of them in the series. Pulp fiction in its glorious prime."
