About this ebook
Mack Bolan bombs down the Jersey Turnpike in a stolen Mustang, a bullet lodged in his ribs and blood seeping down his leg. A dragnet is closing in on the Executioner, whose one-man war against the Mafia has crippled the international crime syndicate but has not yet destroyed it. To evade the roadblocks, he turns onto a lonely two-lane highway when he sees a car full of killers coming up behind him.
Bolan only has three bullets, so he lures the hit men into a car wreck, killing them but sacrificing the Mustang. On foot, he limps into the Jersey night. This is the most corrupt state in the union—the place where mob bosses come to retire in tacky little towns whose police are proud to be on the Mafia payroll. The Executioner is alone, unarmed, and hunted by every killer in the state. But that’s his comfort zone.
Jersey Guns is the 17th book in the Executioner series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
Don Pendleton
Don Pendleton (1927–1995) was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. He served in the US Navy during World War II and the Korean War. His first short story was published in 1957, but it was not until 1967, at the age of forty, that he left his career as an aerospace engineer and turned to writing full time. After producing a number of science fiction and mystery novels, in 1969 Pendleton launched his first book in the Executioner saga: War Against the Mafia. The series, starring Vietnam veteran Mack Bolan, was so successful that it inspired a new American literary genre, and Pendleton became known as the father of action-adventure.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Pendleton' Executioner series is the top action-oriented series ever. Forget James Bond. He's too well dressed. In forget everyone else because no one is as tough or as hardened as Mack Bolan, who returned from the jungles of Vietnam to find the Mafia had waged war at home on decent people. Bolan embarks in a one man crusade against the Mafia and it's a vicious violent war with no quarter given. Bolan is the equivalent of several armored divisions and when he goes into battle mode, it's like the grim reaper in action. Singlehandedly he will take on dozens of armed men and always us the victor. If you like men's adventure, this is your ticket.
Pendleton churned out dozens and dozens of these stories about Bolan,each a battle with the Mafia kill teams, often involving a beautiful gal who falls for him, and an old buddy who is loyal to Bolan and willing to hide him and get weapons to him, including grenades and rocket launchers. Yet, each novel is still well written and compelling. Later novels were written by a host of writers under Pendleton's name
