My recommendation is rather than getting hooking him up with a particular author and having to search for a new one when that one dies I would recommend hooking him up with a group of authors who come and go as they so desire. This way your husband is guaranteed to have many years of great reading. To that end I typically suggest Mack Bolan, let me alaborate:

Mack Bolan grew up in Pittsfield, Mass where he lived with his parents, sister and brother (johnny). He was drafted into the military and served two tours of duty in Vietnam where he obtained the rank of Sargent. He returned to his home in Pittsfield on compationate leave when his family was slaughtered by the American Mafia to bury his family.

He then went on a one man crusade against the mafia vowing to "Shake their house down." He was chased by the mafia one one side and the law on the other, by two men in particualr Hal Brognola (who is now an Assistant Secretary in the US Department of Justice) and a young Los Angeles Police officer named Carl Lyons. Through the next twenty novels Mack took on the mafia and decimated them when Hal Brognola offered Mack a deal: Amnesty for all of his prior actions if he would join a new covert government intelligence organization called Stony Man, absed out of western virginia near a mountain called Stony Man from whence the organization took its name.

Over the next fifteen novels he worked with the organization and the love of his life April Rose until one fine day when the Stony Man offices (Stony Man Farm, because it was based out of a real working farm) was attacked a traitor in its ranks and the Soviet KGB. April took a bullet that was ment for Mack (this incident is called the Day of Morning). With that Day of Morning Mack broke with Stony Man and went on a one man crusafde against the KGB for the next thirty or so novels.

Now Mack works in arms length with the Stony Man organization that he used to work with. Now he still works with Stony Man and its two action teams Phoenix Force and Able Team and its seveal members.

The book series consists of five series:

Executioner - now nearing 400 books in the series that details the entire combat career of Mack Bolan, except for those exploits detail in the Super Bolan series. Typically around 180 pages each novel.

Super Bolan - Now around 150 novels and details other eventures of Mack Bolan. Typically around 300 pages each novel.

Stony Man - Details the exploits of the two Stony Man action teams: Able Team and Phoenix Force.

Deathlands - Takes place after a nucelar war between the US and USSR (called the skydark) and details a group of survivors living approximatly a century after the sky dark and the advanced technology of their day.

Outlands - Takes place a century after the events of the deathlands and the enemy has evolved from barons to alien overloards who were the ancient gods of ancient eygpt and the fertile crescent.
