Mack Bolan wasn’t walking the razor’s edge now
He was cutting his feet on the blade, and only his and Grimaldi’s skill could keep his blood from spraying the U.S. government in the fallout.
It was risky, and when Bolan called Stony Man Farm for an intelligence update and to inform Brognola that he planned to go to North Korea, it wasn’t to ask permission. Such a request would have been construed as nothing less than an act of war, even if the foray was in utmost secrecy.
The Executioner wasn’t a government employee, and there was a conspiracy summoning him into the depths of an enemy stronghold.
There wasn’t an option of survival.
He either succeeded, or the world would be drawn into a war that could explode into a three-way conflict with China.

To Bobbi, as always.
This book never could have been done without you.
We must dare to think “unthinkable” thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. We must learn to welcome and not to fear the voices of dissent. We must dare to think about “unthinkable things” because when things become unthinkable, thinking stops and action becomes mindless.
—J. William Fulbright,
March 27, 1964
In my War Everlasting, I have been forced to see the unthinkable put into action by the unconscionable. To contain a catastrophe, sometimes the options are to lose an entire city than to lose a nation, but as long as there is still a breath in me, my option is to lose myself to save a city.
—Mack Bolan
