Nick Carter Killmaster

Nick Carter was published in a series of spy adventures published from February 1964 until May 1990. There were 261 books published by three different book companies. First by Award Books until January 1977, then by Ace Charter from June 1978 until June 1987, and finally by Jove Books until the end of the series. There was no actual author credited to each book, but rather Nick Carter was used as a house pseudonym. Nick served with the US Government in a fictional spy organization called AXE. Nick carried three weapons through his adventures: A gun, Wilhelmina, is a stripped down German Luger; Hugo, a pearl handled stiletto; and finally Pierre, the poison gas bomb, in a small egg shaped device.
