just my 2 cents

Mack Bolan is half of the Graphic in GraphicAudio. The other half is Deathlands/Outlanders. Dont get me wrong, all the titles rock and i own about 2/3rds of the entire library. But swords, spells, magic stones, etc arent Graphic. AK47's, MP5's, a Beretta 93R , or a 44 Desert Eagle..now thats Graphic.

just my humble opinion

I agree wholeheartedly, but like it's been stated:  They haven't been selling well.  From what I've seen on my end, just having added nearly a hundred titles to the library I work at, the Mack Bolan/Stony Man's circulate a little bit, but I personally feel that Action Adventure is an often ignored genre by critics and folks alike.  You can't beat the kick-ass front covers for these audiobooks.  They're so eye-catching!  I wonder if people who aren't familiar with the Executioner think he's just some dumb Rambo clone.  Would they be surprised to know that this character has had more longevity than most any other character in modern fiction today...except for maybe James Bond.  MB is 40 this year for crying out loud!  Where was James Patterson and John Grisham and Janet Evanovich (real popular authors at my library) in 1969 when Mack was kicking butt and taking names?

The ones that have been flying off our shelves are the First Mountain Man and the Eagles audiobooks.  The older folks love their westerns.  The ones that have been bombing, and I'm really surprised...are the Deathlands and Outlanders.  Haven't gotten around to reading the Outlanders yet, but I think the Deathlands is an intriguing story.  Maybe people feel they have enough negativity in their lives that they don't feel they need to listen to a series about a brutal, raw image of a nuke-blasted future.  What else can Post-apocalyptic plotlines be?  Fun and sun?  Wine and roses?

Well, the next shipment the library is going to get is going to include Serrano Legacy, Deathstalker, DC Comics and Last Gunfighter, along with more Mack Bolan and Stony Man.  I forsee the SF/Fantasy genre is probably going to be a decent circulating item, and all the comic book fanatics can slobber all over the Justice League audios.

Even if no more Mack Bolan audios get produced right now, I'm forever grateful to GA for giving me these stories as a "Movie in My Mind", because I doubt if the Executioner will ever make it to the big screen...if it does, it will probably be butchered, or it will be straight-to-video.

Anyway, my little rant is done. 

I agree, and have lamented his demise here before.  Still, one can not argue the economics....if it doesn't sell well enough to justify continuation, it will be replaced by something else, which will be given the same opportunity to succeed or not. 

The only way for GA to bring back Mack Bolan on even a semi-regular basis (like Stony Man) is for sales to improve.  One good way is for libraries to include these titles among their stock; so thanks for adding Mack to your shelves.

The only reason I'm able to add so many of these titles to our collection is because our library branch is brand new, so we have bond money set aside for two years...expanding our yearly budget greatly.  Even with the budget crunch these days, that money is there for us.  So, I have one more fiscal year of extra ordering.  Probably after that, I won't be able to build our GA collection, but since I'm doing it now, it should be a nice selection.

 I wonder if it would be possibly more economically sound for GA to offer Mack Bolan audios as a download only feature?

Given the work that goes into each production, download only might not even be that feasible.  Sound effects, music, large voice casts, scripts...  I am thankful for the work they've done, though.
