What is the P.A.C Squad?

In my haste, I never made any explanation on this blog what exactly the P.A.C Squad is.

The P.A.C Squad is the Paranormal Activities Control Squad. They were created by my father in 1991 or so, in a series of twelve adventures that he wrote after returning from the First Gulf War, aka Operation Desert Storm.

The first two books were apparently published by Pinnacle, although I've yet to be able to find any copies available on Ebay or any used book stores.

Were they intended as satires? Yeah, I think that's obvious. Some have said they're just bizarre or ridiculous, but I think it's clear they are intended to be funny. My father took tremendous amounts of LSD and smoked a lot of cannabis at that time.

In the stories, the P.A.C Squad is a governmental agency, founded by President Reagen in 1984, formed to fight supernatural menaces.

(I should add that the books pre-date THE X-FILES by a couple years. The tone is rather more similar to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, which premiered a few years later. Regrettably my father was dead by that time, so he never saw either.)

The members of the PAC Squad include:

Corporal Rupert Donaldson, US Army, abducted when young by a family of Sasquatch
Jack Rayon, the gruff and deadly Vietnam veteran and tough guy
Bobby Fedora, the New Age investigator and optimist
Sachet Saperstein, a former male fashion model and "left-brain" of the PAC Squad
Tina Bouffant, the blind psychometricist
Tom and Johansen Sparrow, Finnish twin brothers and hitmen
Raynar, the Turkish psychic
Dr. Venerius, the crotchey Austrian researcher and mad doctor
