The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get. **sigh**
I have the first three Rick Brant titles(after reading about them on James Reasoner's blog; somehow I never found these when I was young).
ReplyDeleteNice deal on the Destroyer series. Was sorry to see it down. Virtually ruined by Gold Eagle at the end, I guess Murphy and Mullaney's efforts to revive it didn't sell well with only four books from Tor.
Randy, there are eleven (at last count) of the series available on-line: #7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18. There were 24 novels in the series overall, plus RICK BRANT'S SCIENCE PROJECTS. The final novel was published in 1990, 22 years after the series "officially" ended.
ReplyDeleteI had a number of the books when I was a kid and looked at the series as a Tom Swift meets The Hardy Boys hybrid.
