"Instinctively Bolan was rolling for shadow and blindly returning fire, very much aware that he was bleeding from two places but also strongly aware that he'd cut the odds down to a much more manageable two-to-one. Some men die easily, passively, passing back through the gateway of life with a gentle sigh or despairing moan. Some die with great reluctance, angrily, snatching at everything within reach to block that narrow passageway and to seal themselves into the Life side. Bolan was one of those latter."Panic in Philly

I used to read every one of these I could get my hands on. DEATH SQUAD is the best.
ReplyDeleteMan, I *breathed* these books in the late '70s. Still have the complete set, up until Pendleton sold the franchise.
ReplyDeleteMake that a triple: I've got a box full of The Executioner in my closet! Love the old stuff, but I think it's been ten years since I've read a new one.
