The first Op-Center is written by a friend of his (Steve
Pieczenik) with
his name on the cover in the known author / new author
tradition ... seen
this more in Sci-Fi / Fantasy (Piers Anthony, etc.) ... I see
his
non-fiction works as off-shoots of the research he does for
his
techno-thrillers ... some of them have co-authors too.
