Don Pendleton (December 12, 1927 - October 23, 1995) was a writer, best known for the creation of American hero Mack Bolan. The series made the Action-Adventure genre popular in the 1960s/70s and got him the nickname of "the father of action adventure". The Mack Bolan novels penned by Pendleton revolved around Bolan's one man war against the mafia, beginning with War Against the Mafia in 1969, and ending with Satan's Sabbath in 1980. Once Pendleton sold the rights to the series, the first book out was The New War by Saul Wernick, which started Bolan's fight against terrorism. Other works by Pendleton include the Joe Copp and Ashton Ford Series.

Pendleton served in the U.S. Navy during World War II, serving in all theaters of the war. His enlistment ended in November of 1947. He returned to active duty in 1952 during the Korean War and served until 1954. He worked as a telegrapher for the Southern Pacific Railroad until 1957, and then as an air traffic control specialist for the Federal Aviation Administration. In the 1960s, he worked for Martin-Marietta on the Titan missile program. He later served as an engineering administrator at NASA during the Apollo missions. Pendleton also worked on the C-5 Galaxy transport aircraft program.

Pendleton wrote several of his earlier, non-Executioner books under the pseudonyms Dan Britain and Stephan Gregory.
