<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">In
March of 1969, the first paperback novel of Don Pendleton’s The Executioner
Series was published. Soon after, the second book, and those to follow,
became a publishing phenomenon with the success of the continuing fast-hitting
adventures of Mack Bolan’s fight to destroy the Mafia. The books
were published worldwide in many languages. Don Pendleton is acknowledged
as the "father of the modern Action/Adventure novel." His Mack Bolan,
The Executioner, theme is "Live Large" and recently the Random House
Historical Dictionary of American Slang, Volume II (H-O) gives derivation
credit for "live large" to Don Pendleton and his Executioner Series.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">At
the height of the Executioner success many publishers and writers attempted to
ride on the coattails of Don's success. Some succeeded. Others did not. In many
of those books, what appeared to be missing were the elements that Don
Pendleton had so skillfully crafted with his presentation of his fictional
hero.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Don wrote the first
novel in the series, War Against the Mafia<i> </i>out of his desire to express
his discomfort with the reaction of many Americans to our soldiers who were
dying for our country in the jungles of Vietnam and those coming home to
outrageous verbal and physical abuse. So Mack Bolan became Don's symbolic
statement. He also became every soldier's voice. Don created a heroic character
in Bolan, a true hero who was dedicated to justice. The enemy that Bolan had to
fight was no longer on the battlefields of Vietnam but right here on American
soil, and that enemy was the Mafia.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Within
his Bolan stories are strong values with an underlying theme of a higher
morality that Bolan follows. More than once Don said about the <i>Executioner</i>
novels, "My biggest job throughout writing the series was to keep faith with
Bolan–that what he is doing is right. I wanted an enemy beyond redemption–an
enemy that all civilized procedures had failed to put down. The Mafia was
ready-made. They embodied all the evils of mankind."</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">In an effort to
explain his Mack Bolan Executioner character and his own style of writing
“heroic” fiction, Don Pendleton had this to say:</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">In the first
Executioner novel, War Against the Mafia, the hero, Mack Bolan is quickly
established as a superb combat soldier dedicated to a lonely “one man war”
against the Mafia. This is a war of attrition...” the same as in ‘Nam.”
Bolan uses a variety of heavy military weaponry in a relentless assault against
“this new enemy” wherever he may discover their presence.
Characterization of the character is to present this very violent figure as a
highly motivated, heroic, and sympathetic man.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">The books are
narrated as the closest thing to docudrama, with an authoritative third-person
objective viewpoint occasionally shifting into stream of consciousness via
Bolan and other characters. The emphasis is to explain the action as an
approving, historical account in a stirring presentation, and to dimension as
much as possible the violent activities of the hero.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Styling of the Mack
Bolan stories requires a structure for carrying fast-paced hard-hitting action
sequences. The writing is punchy, declarative, stirringly graphic.
The reach is toward the reader’s belly, designed to evoke visceral response and
rousing empathy. This is “heroic” fiction."</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;">
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;">Now 45 years later,
the original Don Pendleton's Executioners are being released as ebooks on
December 16, 2014, and are now available at Amazon Kindle, Kobo, Apple, Google,
and other ebook retailers, offered by Open Road Media. </span></span></div>
