On This Day: E C Tubb was born
Courtesy of our friends at the Hugo Award-winning Encyclopedia of Science Fiction – and, in particular, their excellent On This Day function – we are able to celebrate the birth of one of the great figures of British science fiction: Edwin Charles Tubb, born on this day in 1919.
Author of over 100 novels, including the 33-volume Dumarest Saga, E.C. Tubb was a stalwart of post-war British SF, a founder member of the British Science Fiction Association and the first editor of Vector, the critical journal of the BSFA. Tubb was among the very first authors signed by SF Gateway and we’re delighted to be able to make his work available once more – in eBook format and with a selection of his work in trade paperback omnibus edition:
His reputation for fast-moving and colourful SF writing is unmatched by anyone in Britain
~ Michael Moorcock
You can find E.C. Tubb’s work via his Author page on the SF Gateway website, and read about him in his entry in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.
