So a few years ago I put some asg's to good use. They were rented by a Co. for novel cover pics for Mack Bolan. If you are not familiar with Mack he's James bond meets GI Joe. But no one really knows who he works for. I'll dig around some more and see if there are some more covers but this was a fun project. Glad some made it to print, doesn't look toooo cheesey.

Nice! Airsoft occasionally pays!!

Are these books any good?

I'm going to venture out on a limb here and say probably not.

"Terrorists plot to poison America's food supply"

I want to read it to find out how the author proposed to make their food less healthy.

As far as I know the series has been running since the Eighties. I read a few and they are pretty terrible. Goodwill usually has a few for about fifty cents if you are really curious.

not TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cheezy hahahaha SUREEEEEEEEEE

I read a few when I was a kid when the A Team and Mike Hammer were television shows, First Blood was in the theatres and GI Joe was a cartoon with a massive action figure lineup.

As pulp fiction they were ok. I was too young then to catch all the embedded satire. Not sure if the satire can be found in the current Mack Bolan novels. The one man war against the Mafia storyline was fairly entertaining.

Occasionally I still read the odd novel that is written in this style. George Robert Elford's The Devil's Guard is a good read (which made me read Spencer Chapman's The Jungle is Neutral; which is excellent and not written in this style).

However, I do prefer the painted covers from the 70's and 80's Bolan paperbacks.

If you are 10 years old they are great.

I read quite a few when I was young.

Almost makes me want to buy a 93r and an automag.

Yep, quite like the fast food of books, aimed at teenagers. The original Mafia Wars covers were amazing for a kid

Anyone who slags the Executioner is a mouth breathing retard...


....or had missed out on a great childhood...

* as a written story...they're crap
* as a written story about some hard ass blowing the shit out of bad guys...they're...still pretty crappy
* as a story about some hard ass blowing the shit out of bad guys...it's just fine for material to flag on the crapper

I do like the looks of that Elcan on a G36.

They started sometime in the early 80's the earlier novels started off in Vietnam and then back in the USA where Mack fought against organized crime (aka the Mob) kind of like a rogue Punisher character, then he progressed into a Special Operative working for the government as primarily a Lone wolf operator. The series expanded to add additional teams for spin off series with overlapping story lines. Each novel is actually based on a timeline following the previous novel and sometimes has events stretching over 3 or 4 novels.

Not a bad series, Don Pendleton's a great writer and some of his other works have been made into TV series.
