Mack Bolan served two tours of duty in Vietnam in the army when he was sent home on compassionate leave, it seems that the US mafia had slaughtered his family. He went home and buried his family and went on a one man war against the mafia. For the next several years he vowed to "shake their house down" and did just that. He was fought by both sides, the mafia and law enforcement. On the law enforcement side he was sought by Hal Brognola (US Federal Government, Department of Justice, Assistant Secretary) and LAPD detective Carl Lyons (called Project Hardcase). Hal Brognola was able to convince the Us Government and Mack to join forces to fight the country's enemies and setup a new covert black ops organization called Stony Man (headquartered near the Appalachian mountains in Virginia, near a mountain called Stony Man) where mack was second in command and fell for April Rose, mission controller. In an assault on the Stony Man HQ by a rouge government agent April was killed and Stony Man cyber genius Aron Kurtzman was crippled for life and mack left Stony Man to start a one man war against the Soviets. At the conclusion of this war he started an arms length alliance with the US Government and often works for Stony Man where he is frequently joined by Stony Man's two action teams - Able Team and Phoenix Force. Now (for the last twenty years or so) he takes missions from Stony Man and kills off all sort of American enemies including terrorists, drug dealers and slave traders. He frequents the Stony Man HQ (called Stony Man farm) where the love of his life works (Barbara Price, a honey blond mission controller replacement for April).
The Mack Bolan books consists of three series called Executioner, Stony Man and Super Bolan which chronicle the exploits of Mack and his pals. Together with two other series called Outlands and Deathlands are published by Golden Eagle, a sub-company of Harlequin books. See Mack and his gang at

The current book is called Target Acquisition by Nathan Meyer, each book is written by one of a group of authors, this one is a Stony Man. Able Team and Phoenix Force are working separate missions one to face jihadists fueling terror in Pakistan and the other rescuing a plane full of hostages in the Amazon jungle. It turns out that there is a sheik that is instigating both in a power grab in the middle east.
