Don Pendleton Used to write them, up until #39 or so. Then Pinnacle
either dropped them or folded or something, and Harlequin Books picked
them up. Since then, the cast of characters has split, and there are 4 or 5 
series with the various splinter groups, all written by other people
"under the direction of" Don Pendleton. I pretty much gave up at that point,
since I didnt like the new directions. 

don pendleton himself is rather nice, at least by letter. As a young teenage
fan (?15 years old?) I wrote him a letter and got a very nice, thoughtful
reply. I wrote again thanking him, and the next reply was a form letter.
Such is life. But I got on their mailing list, and was given galley proofs
of a few of the new books to read and comment on. My dad was/is much more
into this; if you want more detailed info, I can get it from him. Harlequin
picked it all up sometime around 1980-1982... I cant be more specific at
the moment, all my info is home.

have fun
