I didn't know this book existed. Krepps wrote as "Geoff St. Reynard" in the pulps and SF digests. Pretty good writer.

He wrote two or three books with African settings. Barry Gardner was a big fan of them. I heard he wrote a Jake Logan book, but I don't know if that's true.

Yeah, Krepps wrote at least one Jake Logan, but I don't have Pat Hawk's book close at hand to look up which one. If I can remember when I go back upstairs, I will.

Krepps is another of those writers I like. He did Gold Medals, hardbacks, adult westerns, movie novelizations, all that SF you mentioned, and anything that came to hand. Usually did it very well, too.

Well, it turns out that Pat's book doesn't list which Jake Logan Krepps wrote, but I'm fairly confident that he authored at least one.

I'd like to think that some of us these days are following in the footsteps of guys like Krepps.
