Season of Harm

To say that I was raised with Mack Bolan is essentially true. My parents encouraged me to read when I was young and along with Ian Fleming, Don Pendleton was a writer I sought out. I remember my father worked as the superintendent of several housing developments in the Washington DC area, and when he came home on the weekends, he would bring Executioners. I started picking up and reading them when I was six or seven. That was nearly forty years ago. I loyally followed Sgt. Bolan through the Mafia Wars, when he lost April Rose, the love of his life, and his campaign against the terrorists. Then Don Pendleton turned the books over to a publishing firm who allowed them to turn to crap. One story was just like the last story, only the names were changed. It was clear that the writers knew nothing about action fiction, nor the weapons the characters would use. I quit reading the books a decade ago. A couple of years ago I picked up one that was written by a fellow named Phil Elmore, and he seems to understand what it takes to write a Pendleton style book. The newest one, Season of Harm, is a Stony Man novel. Bolan isnt featured in it, but everyone else is, including Jack Grimaldi, Able Team and Phoenix Force. I wont spoil it for you, but suffice it to say, pick up the Bolans and Superbolans written by Elmore. He can certain write a heck of an adventure story.
