Don't forget the Lensman series by E. E. Doc Smith!

Not many of us do.
But by the standards of some of the series discussed here Lensmen runs a tad... (heh!) Short. Now, Tarzan, 25 volumes worth, that is a classic worth remembering if long-running series is the target. |

I like cozy-type mysteries.
I've recently read the Hamish Macbeth series by MC Beaton and am now working my way through the Emma Lord/Alpine series by Mary Daheim. These are both set in small towns where the same locals pop up regularly. |

I fondly hope that if the series ever comes to TV (or movies) they start with GALACTIC PATROL. (For TV, they can do occasional "Times Past" flashbacks for the Virgil Samms era.) Last edited by fjtorres; 01-12-2013 at 06:10 PM. |

(The Pellucidar and Venus series are pretty good too.) Still don't understand how Disney could have screwed up so badly in marketting a perfectly fine adaptation and a really good movie in its own right. |

Wheel of Time, without a doubt. And......(different Genre): Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hinter Serie; and Christine Feehan's Carpathian Series and a newer one; Carole Nelson Douglas's Delilah Street, Paranormal Investigator.
There are others I follow as well but these are my favorite long-running series. The Delilah Street Series is only 5 books but they only come out every two years or so, to my chagrin |

The Jack Ryan books by Tom Clancy would also fit into this. They just keep going and going...
There are quite a few Jason Bourne books too. The first 3 are by Robert Ludlum, the remainder are by Eric Van Lustbader? I saw WEB Griffon mentioned, he has a couple fairly long series, not super long, but 5-7 books I think. The 1632 series by Eric Flint (Ring of Fire?) also has a lot of books and is still going. I haven't read it yet, so I don't know how much revolves around a central cast though. |

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but Don Pendleton's The Executioner series. It's up to something like 380 books.
Or James Axler's Deathlands is up to....I'm not sure, somewhere well over 100 I believe. |
