Firebase Seattle — Don Pendleton

Mack Bolan's relentless one-man war on the Mafia has taken him on a cross-country, city-blitzing itinerary that has left various pockets of the mob's organization bleeding and in wild disarray. Of course, a single warrior can only do so much damage, can only visit death and destruction in so many places.

The obvious entrenchments of Mafia strength lie in major cities like New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami. And no sooner does the Executioner raze one location and move on to the next than the previous site begins to regroup and grow, like an insidious infection ... a malignant and sinister tumor of crime and corruption that seems to defy ordinary treatment.

How long can one crime-fighter continue to wage war against such incredible odds? Not even Mack Bolan knows for sure. A strike at the head of the monster -- New York -- must be followed by a thrust to the beast's heart -- Chicago -- a slash at its legs -- Los Angeles -- a crushing of its hands -- Boston -- and on and on, in an ever increasing battle to contain the festering giant.

Now it is Seattle's turn to feel the searing lance of the Executioner ...for there is no corner of this land beyond the reach of the one man who dares to fight the impossible, defeat the invisible. Mack Bolan.
