ReviewsWhile 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|9781592122868|, "Hubbard wrote adventure, westerns, thrillers, and crime-espionage as well as sf--and they reveal both the range and quality of the author's work.... Even a sampling of Galaxy's catalog makes it clear that pulp-fiction devotees need to put Hubbard's works on their must-read lists." --Booklist, Crossing multiple genres, the stories are jam-packed with vibrant plot elements and typically center on a homegrown American hero, a parade of multiethnic villains straight out of central casting, and the requisite damsel in distress or femme fatale. -Library Journal, Crossing multiple genres, the stories are jam-packed with vibrant plot elements and typically center on a homegrown American hero, a parade of multiethnic villains straight out of central casting, and the requisite damsel in distress or femme fatale. --Library Journal, "Hubbard wrote adventure, westerns, thrillers, and crime-espionage as well as sf-and they reveal both the range and quality of the author's work….

Ron Hubbard that will amaze you with the depth of information. In fact with all the detail Hubbard throws into his stories you know, he had to have lived some aspect of the stories, and that's what makes them so fun the hear as an audio book or read the printed page, the detail and depth." -Gil Wilson, "With some great humor and adventure this story is yet another story from L.

SynopsisBat Conroy--cut him and he'd bleed ink, he's a born newspaperman. The greatest American journalists of the 20th century all made their names as war correspondents, but none of them would have beat out Bat Conroy to a good story. Which makes it that much more mystifying--and aggravating--when an unknown writer, filing under the byline Perry Lane, scoops Bat on every story that comes along. Bat's always been the go-to reporter covering the Japanese invasion of China ... until this Perry Lane person came along to steal his thunder and maybe even his job. Now, the biggest story of the war is about to hit the fan, and Bat's going to get to the source first if it kills him. But the most shocking news of all is the true identity of the elusive Perry Lane. Get the news hot off the presses as Inky Odds goes to war and delivers the extraordinary story behind the story.
