Stop the Assassination! The directive came from the White House, and the target was less than twenty miles away in an affluent Maryland suburb. For Mack Bolan it was a very strange assignment: tooprotect a high-level Iranian exile, General Eshan Nazarour, from imminent assassination. It became stranger still when the generals beautiful American wife was kidnapped. Immediately the intrigue, violence — and murder — began to form a familiar pattern. Organized crime was getting involved with foreign subversion. The maze of treachery and terrorism could lead to only one conclusion — the deadly presence of the Executioner: Mack Bolan!

MISFORTUNES OF WARNightwind, the military's best-kept secret, is the most lethal anti-missile aircraft in America's arsenal. Its solid-state laser system and advanced optics make it virtually indestructible and infinitely lethal. But, willing to barter his secrets to enemies of the Western world, the scientist who created it has sold out. The blueprints for Nightwind are going on the auction block in exchange for cold hard cash.Brokering the deal is an ex-KGB killer with traitors on his payroll. Nikolai Kursk's vision is limited only by his capacity for power. Not only has he put the scientist and the system plans on the market, he's about to up the ante by stealing the plane itself.His buyers are dealing because they want to see America burn. And their blood money suits Kursk just fine. But that kind of currency carries a price--soon to be collected in full by the Executioner.

A Mafia hit team is trying to gain control of St. Louis. The Executioner is only too aware that if the attack succeeds, it would be a major setback in his everlasting war. Mack Bolan returns to the Missouri killground to settle an ancient blood debt. And the leader of the hit crew and his Black Ace — one of the brotherhoods assassination elite — are marked for death.

Ashton Ford has special powers, powers some call supernatural. A former naval intelligence officer, Ford will shatter your ideas of reality. What intrigued Ashton Ford about this sadistically brutal Jane Doe case was that there were no clues except a few satanic symbols. Ford must reach the victim’s silent mind with his own and combat the evils of a deadly sex cult and mysterious beings.

NUCLEAR LOCKDOWNWhen a plot to unleash weapons of mass destruction on U.S. soil is discovered in a coded message, all clues lead to the country's most notorious prison. With time running out, Mack Bolan goes in undercover as an inmate to find out who's behind the attack and stop it from happening.Surrounded by corrupt guards and convicted killers who want him dead, Bolan can't trust anybody--and one wrong move could be lethal. Weaponless and cut off from the outside world, he's aware that the only tools he has to track down the nuclear devices hidden in the prison walls are psychological warfare and hand-to-hand combat. This high-security facility may have been designed to keep the deadliest criminals in check, but nothing can keep the Executioner down.

OPTIMUM HITThe kidnapping of a high-ranking U.S. intelligence official by Somali pirates requires a quick and dirty extraction, and Bolan is tapped for the mission. But when its successful completion red-flags covert data indicating an imminent attack on U.S. soil, the situation turns hard and deadly.Bolan's prime directive from the Oval Office is clear: connect the dots of the terrorist cells in New York to find the target and bury the trail. America doesn't want--or need--a new war, especially as a crucial United Nations vote on nuclear arms is days away. When the dirty business leads back to Iran, Bolan's only shot is to go undercover in Tehran. Here, seconds count as he races to eliminate the power behind the threat and stop an enemy taking aim at America's heart with intent to kill.

Mack Bolan learns that archenemy Greb Strakhov is in Lebanon. The Executioner has a personal vendetta with the KGB terror merchant. Bolans mission is twofold: to settle the score with Strakhov, and to avenge the 240 U.S. Marines who lie dead in the wake of a suicide-bomber attack. A single life lost is unacceptable to Bolan. But not even the combat-hardened Executioner is prepared for the utter carnage he finds in Beirut. There, Death respects no barriers. In a conflict in which none of the warrior factions seem to want peace, Bolan knows what he has to do. Make sure that the savages instigating the strife are silenced — forever!

COURSE OF ACTIONWithout warning, three U.S.-made tanks swoop down on an Israeli settlement with cannons blazing. When the attack is over, hundreds are dead. Mack Bolan's hard probe reveals that the tanks were missing from a U.S.-to-Egypt military aid package. Bolan's mission takes him to Cairo to find out who is selling American weapons to terrorists. But the enemy is organized and deadly, anticipating his arrival. He races across Egypt and Lebanon, facing highly trained commandos, Hezbollah hitmen, even a Syrian armored platoon.It all leads to an ancient copper mine, a squadron of nerve-gas bearing drones, and a countdown to the start of a bloody war between Egypt

Mack Bolan goes rogue as a favor for a friend that quickly turns personal — the search and rescue of American soldiers damned to hell deep inside hostile territory in the Middle East. Finding and saving the men betrayed by their ruthless commanding officer fifteen years earlier is worth everything Bolan's got — including his life. A MATTER OF HONOR Jumping alone into enemy territory for an all-but-impossible rescue — coupled with a grim determination to expose the military bureaucrats and power players who orchestrated this outrage — challenges fate to the lethal extreme. As a former soldier himself, the Executioner has cheated fate before and vows to do it one more time — for the forgotten prisoners of a long-ago war who deserve no less.

A trap! So much for undercover operations, thought Bolan. His nighttime parachute drop into Thailand had become an open secret. Enemy gunfire zeroed in on his position. It was survival time in the jungle again! The Executioner was in Southeast Asias Golden Triangle to strike at the international illicit-drug industry. But his advance man had been captured by the enemy — the 93rd Kuomintang Division of the Nationalist Chinese Army, better known as Tiger Enterprises, the worlds largest heroin ring. Bolans Montagnard army now refused to fight. The tribesmen, traditional enemies of the Chinese for 4,000 years, were fierce warriors but fickle allies. They knew better than to back a loser... But Bolan would not lose. However much death it took.

Lasers! The word holds a promise for peace in the world. And the U.S. is twenty years ahead of its nearest rival in the latest use of the device. But the secret of this technology lies in the tangled psyche of a former POW, brainwashed years before and let loose on an unsuspecting America. And the Russians hold the key. Mack Bolan is frighteningly familiar with the mind-control techniques used on prisoners in Vietnam. The specter of that bloody war haunts The Executioners current mission as a trail of treachery leads him to discover an attempt on the Presidents life and a world-threatening plot masterminded by Bolans deadliest enemy. Strakhov returns.
