It's back-to-school time again, and what better way to warm up than a little
sci-fi from the Master. Asimov? Clarke? Heinlein? How about Lionel Fanthorpe,
who is to prose what Ed Wood was to cinema. Writing under a roll-call of
pseudonyms, Fanthorpe managed to churn out at least 180 "works" (89 in three
years alone!) during the `50s and `60s for Badger Books (emphasis on bad).
Visionary? Genius? Another crummy writer? You be the judge.
