Jack McKinney is a pseudonym for co-authors Brian Daley (Best known for his Star Wars book, Han Solo at Star's End) and James Luceno (Wrote the New Jedi Order Star Wars novel series). In addition to the 21 Robotech books they co-wrote, they also wrote a 4-book series called The Black Hole Travel Agency. Here are all of the books written under the Jack McKinney pseudonym; there won't be any more, as Brian Daley passed away in February, 1996.

There was another book, preceeding the "Black Hole Travel Agency" series, called Kaduna Memories, which was their contribution to the cyberpunk movement. It concerned a non-eco friendly PI, an AI who had been broken into multiple pieces in order to preserve a secret, and an alien who was basically a biological machine.

Reading the book (following "The End of the Circle" in publishing time) was rather startling, because while containing the familiar style of McKinney's work, it was very original and creative, and was not at all of the same venue as Robotech.
