Synopsis

"Action adventure icon" Mack Bolan, aka the Executioner, is back—and this time he's got backup—Los Angeles Times

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 hard-core killers, and clean up the West Coast. Ten ruthless soldiers in all, forged in the fires of Vietnam . . .

The Executioner's own Death Squad.

So in this volume of the Executioner Mack Bolan recruits several of his Viet Nam buddies and they form a "death squad" to against the mafia. They do some damage, but without revealing too much here let's just say there's a reason Bolan works best alone. (view spoiler)[ I will reveal this. Only two members of the De (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Nate on August 08, 2024

This is objectively a better book than the first one, but it’s much less unhinged so not nearly as funny. In this one there’s a format change; instead of a one man army there’s more of an A-team/dirty dozen vibe. In this one Mac Bolan puts together a crack team of Vietnam vets he served with, each o......more

Mack Bolan rounds up a team of his former Viet Nam colleagues for a "Death Squad" in his continued war with the Mafia in this action-packed second entry in the series. Much of the action takes place while driving the streets of Los Angeles which reminded me of the Fast and Furious movies. The ten me......more
