About this title

Review:

"While many pulp writers worked in multiple genres, including Gibson and Dent, the majority of them focused on one or two specific genres, solidifying their careers in that genre in which they felt more comfortable. Hubbard, on the other hand, tackled a variety of genres and produced a now legendary output of stories in every major (and minor) genre. He wrote Westerns, swashbucklers, air adventure, mysteries, espionage thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, tales of the Orient, sea tales, and even Yukon tales in the tradition of Jack London." --Antique Trader
"I particularly like "Typewriter in the Sky" because it was such a skillful parity of adventure fiction and was written with a great deal of lightness and touch which you didn't get much in those days." --James Gunn, Grand Master of Science Fiction
"I grew up reading Hubbard's science fiction and fantasy. Such stories and novels as "Typewriter in the Sky, Final Blackout "and his masterpiece "Fear "remain for me exemplary pulp that can be read down the decades. If you've seen any of the Galaxy Press editions of Hubbard's work then you've seen some of the most carefully and beautifully crafted trade paperbacks of our time."--Mystery Scene
"A true masterpiece of the genre...a book that remembers how to be 'fun' and entertaining." Kevin J. Anderson

About the Author:

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 320 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.
