Hugh Zachary

Hugh Zachary (January 12, 1928 – September 5, 2016) was an American novelist who has written science fiction novels under the pseudonyms Zach Hughes and Evan Innes (the latter for the America 2040 series). His other pseudonyms include Peter Kanto and Pablo Kane. He described himself as "the most published, underpaid, and most unknown writer in the U.S."

Some of his novels appear to be set in a shared universe, one where Earth experiences a nuclear apocalypse shortly after launching a colonization fleet to settle new worlds among the stars. Provided by Wikipedia
