James R.,
Re your comment below:
"McDaniel's novels were my favorites in that series, too. He
was involved in science-fiction fandom under the name Ted
Johnstone, but I've never been clear on whether that was his
real name or whether David McDaniel was. He wrote one SF
novel in addition to his U.N.C.L.E. books, but nothing else
that I'm aware of."
McDaniel was apparently a real fan of the show, and clearly
put his best efforts into his UNCLE novels.
It was McDaniel who came up with the actual full name of the
THRUSH organization that was opposed by UNCLE in his first
novel in the series, THE DAGGER AFFAIR. In that one, Solo and
Kuryakin discover that THRUSH is an acronym for
"Techonological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and
the Subjugation of Humanity." McDaniel's novel also implies,
with coming right out and saying, that the founder of THRUSH
was Professor Moriarty.
There's an article about McDaniel's work on the series
here:

There's also an entry on McDaniel at Wikipedia.
