The Target H
2000
Introducing Mark Hardin, "The Penetrator," at war against the L.A. heroin trade.
Mark Hardin... He'd learned how in Vietnam: Infiltrate the enemy's position, determine the plan of action and then strike swiftly, taking out as many key men as possible, wreaking destruction, leaving chaos in your wake.
He is a new breed of warrior, without uniform, without rank - dedicated to the American way of life, and pledged to fight anyone who seeks to destroy it. On either side of the law. That's why he's in Los Angeles. Just the beginning of a long and lonely series of brush fire wars.

Cryogenic Nightmare
1978
Frozen assets: Preacher Mann is too much for the FBI and the CIA. He has dual citizenship and friends in diplomatic circles, and he's too powerful for the regular legal channels. He's come a long way: from a pimp in Harlem, he's worked his way to the top - of the rackets. He's into international dope, espionage - and now, in his orgy palace off the Florida coast, he's onto a new wrinkle!
The most beautiful women in the country are systematically vanishing. And Preacher Mann is holding them on ice - literally. He's freezing them until needed - to be shipped to the highest bidder. Only one man can defrost the situation: the Penetrator. He must succeed where others have failed. He's one man on a mission that's too cool to handle!

The urgent message flashes across the country as a scientist is reported missing from a California think tank where a new atomic shielding is being developed. The project is on the brink of success and will revolutionize travel, but no one has yet put the whole thing together into a practical unit.
Then the head man of the top secret project is murdered, and his assistant and number two genius, Brunt Maxwell, disappears... along with all of the plans.
It's a near-panic situation... national security is at stake... and time is running out—even for the Penetrator!
