Bought this when it first came out. The Executioner was my favorite series back then until Pndleton stopped writing it and the army of ghost writers took over.

I read this series too, at first, until it became so repetitive. I always like The Destroyer better.

I've been curious about the Executioner series. Never read any, though.

Dale, The Destroyer is a long time favorite as well. Sorry it finally seemed to end.

Cullen, I'd look for any Executioners numbered 1-38. Mack Bolan fought the Mafia in those and Pendleton wrote all but #16(that's a long, involved story). When Pendleton licensed the character to Gold Eagle, the focus changed to terrorism and the series lost something for me.

I read Mack Bolan books like crazy when I was in middle school. I was very happy to find the firs tin the series at a local used book store.

I happily announced my find to my peers but they had moved on to different interests and were unimpressed.
