We've got five new eBooks from pulp legend Lester Dent!
Today we're excited to release five eBooks from noted pulp author Lester Dent, best known as the creator and main author of the Doc Savage series.
Dent (1904–1959) was born in La Plata, Missouri. In his mid-twenties he began publishing pulp stories, and moved to New York, where he developed the successful Doc Savage magazine with Street and Smith’s Henry Ralston. The magazine ran until 1949 and included 181 novels, of which Dent wrote the vast majority, under the house name Kenneth Robeson.
But he also published mystery novels in a variety of genres, including the Chance Molloy series, about a self-made airline owner. And Dent acquired many trades and interests in his adventurous life—he had a pilot’s license, and was a member of the Explorer’s Club—before his death in 1959.
Frank Gruber, author of The Pulp Jungle, said Dent's stories "showed a talent for invention that has not been surpassed by any other writer." And Writers Digest praised Dent as one of "the most thoroughgoing character builders in the pulp field."
