The Crossover that Never Was or How the Penetrator helped the Death Merchant

Okay you may have noticed in two of my recent posts I reviewed DEATH MERCHANT #24 The Kronos Plot and PENETRATOR #19 Panama Power Play, both of which feature the heroes saving the Panama Canal from a Cuban backed plot and both novels were published in 1977.What are the odds that Fidel ordered 2 seperate plots on the Panama Canal in the 1970s? Not very likey, so it seems that both The Death Merchant and The Penetrator helped stop this Panama plot but neither was aware that the other was involved.
Consider that the Death Merchant battled Panamanian Communist rebels and never encountered Cuban troops, the Penetrator battled Cuban troops but not Panamanian Communist rebels and in both books it was acknowledged that the rebels were working the Cubans.
I wonder if Richard Camellion and Mark Hardin ever discovered that they both worked on the same case?

You make a convincing case. I'll say they never discovered it because on their world secrets are actually kept.

You may be right perhaps they'll discover it in 20 years when the documents become declassified. <grin>
