Went by one of the used book stores in town and picked up
three new ones. I've got a question about the Pendleton
series. They had a couple hundred of them, most of them
titled as Don Pendleton's Executioner Series or something
like that. Skirting mentioning him specifically as the
author, I assumed those labelled that way were ghosted.
Looking hard for as early as I could find, I found a #46
which had him listed as an author, or so it seemed. Copyright
1982. And then I found a #40, and when I looked at the
copyright on it, it was 1982 also! I thought hell with
this... if he's writing 6 a year I don't think I want to any
part of it.
But then I found a #37 which brought me back to 1979. Is this
book by Don Pendleton himself? Can a #37 in a series really
be any good? I bought it for cheap.
Bad news on the comic book side of things. I found nothing. I
went to a new store which wasn't much, but they had nothing
that was mentioned here, and at Barnes and Noble all them
were under science fiction/fantasy and it looked like they
were sincere about it.
