Book Description

The first novel in the classic, hard-to-find, 1980s vigilante series...now back in print for the first time in decades."Doctor Death shoots, stabs and strangles as smoothly as most grandmothers make hot cocoa. He is as handy with a bayonet as he is with an Uzi. He spares no one." New Jersey Courier-ReviewKyle Youngblood was a Green Beret in Vietnam...where he became a relentless killing machine, fighting for God and country, while longing for the humanity he left behind. They called him Dr. Death. But when he returned home to his ranch in Nevada, to his loving wife and kids, he discovered that he couldn't escape the violence. It followed him like a shadow...and when Youngblood is forced to kill a man in self-defense, the son of a big-time mobster, the retribution is swift and brutal. But the mob's professional assassins who come for Youngblood don't realize he isn't just some "hick rancher." He's a man who won't be intimidated, who won't run from a fight...and who won't die easily. He's declaring war on a new enemy, using the same lethal skills that he mastered in the steaming jungles of 'Nam. This new edition includes an introduction by Eric Compton. co-host of the Paperback Warrior podcast, that explores the life of author Herb Fisher and what makes his four Doctor Death books unique in the men's action-adventure genre."Doctor Death appears to be a late 80s cash grab targeting Mack Bolan fans. It's much better than that. Herb Fisher gets everything right with Doctor Death. Kyle is an admirable protagonist and his willingness to sacrifice himself for his family transcends the printed page."
