Sad to hear this. I read some of the Dumarest books years back, as well as the tie-ins he did for Space: 1999 and the gregory Kern titles. I guess I need to dif out the Dumarests I have and see what I need to complete them. Though now that I think, they may be out of my range if I remember correctly(I think I checked a few years back)
I enjoyed reading all of E. C. Tubb's work under his name and all of his pseudonyms. The man was a true professional.
I am very sorry to hear this. I've read a lot of Tubb, though by no means all, and I've always found them to be good or a bit better than that. He could sure write space opera like few others. I'm going to be depressed the rest of the day now. Sigh.
He was a clever old fashioned pulspter. I liked a lot of the Dumarest books especially.He also did a number of Ace stand alones that were mighty fine.
