(1947-    ) US author who first came to attention through an imaginative sequence of Ties to the Robotech Television series of Mecha cartoon adventures, all with Brian C Daley (whom also see for details) under the joint pseudonym Jack McKinney, but who in these early years also wrote some untied solo sf adventures: A Fearful Symmetry (1989), a Near-Future thriller about the coming of the Millennium and the arrival of Aliens; Illegal Alien (1990), an interplanetary Sex spoof; and The Big Empty (1993), about a Cyborg caught in a war between biological and mechanical forces. The Shadow (1994) was a film Tie. At this point, Luceno began to specialize in the Star Wars universe, beginning with Star Wars: The New Jedi Order: Agents of Chaos 1: Hero's Trial (2000) [for sequels see Checklist], and continuing with other Star Wars Ties, beginning with Star Wars: Cloak of Deception (2001). He interspersed work on that encompassing universe with two apparent Ties to Web Warrior, though his tales – Web Warriors: Memories End (2002) and Web Warriors: Dimension X (2002) – may constitute the only manifestation of this series about net-roaming teenage sleuths caught in Virtual Reality perplexes.
