Agent of T.E.R.R.A. News

Like Randy Johnson, I've heard from the daughter of Jack Jardine ("Larry Maddock") about my posts on his Agent of T.E.R.R.A. series. I loved these books when I read them back in the Sixties and think it's pretty cool that the author's daughter got in touch with me. The most exciting thing, though, is learning that manuscripts exist of two unpublished books in the series. I can tell you, if any publishers are interested, I'd buy those books right now.

Jack Jardine ("Larry Maddock") R.I.P.

I learned today that author Jack Jardine passed away last week. I didn't know him, but I have very vivid memories of reading and enjoying the books he wrote during the Sixties under the pseudonym Larry Maddock. As a science-fiction fan and also a huge fan of all the secret agent novels, movies, and TV shows from that era, I was definitely a member of the target audience for the Agent of T.E.R.R.A. novels. Luckily, they were intelligent, well-written, and very entertaining. Here are the covers from all four books in the series. Rest in peace, Mr. Jardine.
