Rex Bader
Created by Mack Reynolds

Private eye REX BADER is first introduced in the 1969 social/political/sci-fi thriller The Five-Way Secret Agent, in which he's sent by a wealthy, idealistic businessman deep into the heart of the Soviet Union to set up a peace deal in the near future, Hot on his heels, and opposed to his mission are the descendants of the CIA and the Mafia.

Rex next popped up in 1979's LaGrange Five, wherein Bader is called upon by the director of a space colony, LaGrangia, to find out why its members are going mad. Rex returns to the space colony in two more adventures, to look into other threats against the colony, from both within and without.

Reynolds is also responsible for a sci-fi police procedural, of sorts, the vaguely Adam 12-ish Police Patrol: 2000 A.D. (1977). The last two LaGrange books were edited and completed by Dean Ing after Reynolds' death.
