A good closer to the Death Squad issues, I found this a very powerful boot plot wise for three reasons. Battle Mask showed us the core of Mack Bolans spirit.- He had the chance of disappearing into the mists forever, (with his skills in role camo he could have pulled it off) but instead he dedicates himself to continuing the fight regardless of personal cost. The West coast family falls!- I agree not the best of reasons to love this book but come on, there is no way the mob could get away with dismantling the death squad without paying for it in blood. And Mack is the man to take the payment, in full with *vigorish* (ha Pay Day Jake MB1 I wont ever forget him) Introduction of 'Turkeys' Although not fuilly explained until 'Jersey Guns' (and then in gory detail *shudders*) Turkey meat is something we see a lot of in this series. This book, with our poor Dr. friend is the first time it happens, ever. Sets the standard for Mack's reaction. -
What can I say that hasn't been said? Mack Bolan is my hero and this is where it all began. Don Pendleton started more than a series, he created a legend with a heart, soul, and a mission. If you can find ANY of his works (up to Satan's Sabbath) GET THEM, KEEP THEM, AND NEVER LET THEM GO!! I dont put the others, although good in their own right, in with the first generation for one reason. Mr. Pendelton had an amazing ability to give the 'Man from Blood' a soul. Mack will always be The Executioner... but sometimes I miss Sgt. Mercy. (You fans know what I mean, and the newcomers... well it just gives you another reason to read the books.)
