"Jack Hild" is a pseudonym shared by multiple authors ghostwriting the Soldiers of Barrabas (SOBs) series of action-adventure novels. The most prolific of these authors were Robin Hardy and Alan Philipson.
Despite Hild's output being the work of several authors, the novelist Warren Murphy provided a cover endorsement saying "Jack Hild is simply the best and gutsiest action writer around today."
In backmatter to some of the SOBs books, the publishers Gold Eagle jokingly stated Hild's "whereabouts are unknown. No one associated with Gold Eagle Books has ever seen Jack, in person or in a photograph... If you should ever meet Jack Hild... let us know."
Totally useless book in this series. The author, who also wrote a completely worthless book in The Mack Bolan series, Deaths Head, which I read and hated, got his hands on this series. He seems to have been given descriptions of the characters and never read or maybe even heard of this series because there is really nothing to link this with much of the past books. He just describes the team over and over. This is one reason that this series died. I hate to be so negative, but damn, this sucked out loud.
