Mark the Jax-Man

Okay, as former reader and even a contributer to the "Bolanverse", my feeling is that any writer whose individual work can be recognized in the unfortunately homogenized mess of The Executioner, Stony Man and Mack Bolan series is something special. The work by Douglas P. Wojtowicz qualifies as something special because it breaks the formula and more importantly--it's MEMORABLE. As other reviewers have pointed out, Doom Prophecy has everything that makes a picture perfect "pulpish" classic--colorful locales, blazing action, sharp characterizaton, witty dialogue and more importantly--big-time adversaries! Vivid villains who are intelligent as well as multi-dimensional who actually give the heroes a run for their money, instead of cliched straw man ethnic stereotypes far too many Bolanverse contributers fall back on. Doom Prophecy is a terrific entry in the Stony Man series and just as a stand-alone novel, it's far superior to most of the pulp disguised as "thrillers" that are so heavily promoted by more high-profile publishers. Great work!
