About the author
Otis Adelbert Kline
190 books21 followersA popular pulp era writer who served on the original Weird Tales editorial staff & appeared frequently in the magazine's early issues, Kline is perhaps best known for his novelistic feud with Edgar Rice Burroughs. He wrote "Planet of Peril" (1929) and two other novels set on the planet Venus and written in the storytelling form of the John Carter of Mars novels, prompting Burroughs to write his own stories set on Venus. In return, Kline wrote two novels set on Mars, as well as several jungle adventurers quite reminiscent of Burroughs's Tarzan.
In the mid-1930s Kline largely abandoned writing to concentrate on his career as a literary agent (most famously for fellow Weird Tales author Robert E. Howard, pioneer sword and sorcery writer and creator of Conan the Barbarian). Kline represented Howard from the Spring of 1933 until Howard's death in June 1936, and continued to act as literary agent for Howard's estate thereafter.

Todos los tópicos del pulp ciencia ficción de esa época: Un personaje que tiene que luchar con seres raros, paisajes exóticos, peleas rápidas, y el amor de una bella mujer. Todo esto con una simple narración.
Literatura basura que tanto nos gusta.

On the coatails of John Carter!
Classic fantasy fiction by an author mimicking the great Edgar Rice Burroughs. Still quite an enjoyable read with a touch of nostalgia. If you enjoy a rollercoaster adventure ala Flash Gordon! Then park your analytical mind and breeze through these sonewhat silly romantic fantasy lost tales.
