About the author

Denis Talbot Hughes (1917-2008) was born in London and was the son of Victorian artist Talbot Hughes. He trained as an Air Observation Pilot in WWII, but a serious crash prematurely ended his flying career. His first book, Fury Drives By Night, was published in 1948; over 80 more titles followed, published under numerous contractual pseudonyms. In addition to science fiction, he also published westerns and adventure novels. This prolific period ended when his main publisher collapsed in 1954.

From 1954, until his retirement in the 1980s, he wrote short stories for DC Thomson, specialising in WWII adventures for boys' papers including Victor, Hotspur, Warlord and Wizard.
