about the author
Caleb
C. Crud here to make the introductioneerin' for this latest offering
here at Pulp & Dagger from ol' Kirk Straughen...who y'might be
recollecting contributed some earlier serials like Swords Across the Void n' Island of Terror. Good stuff, with a
lot o' runnin' about, n' fightin' n' things. There's a bit of the
flavour of old school scribblers like Edgar Rice Burroughs and Edmond
Hamilton is this here tale -- The Jewel of Besminur!
Least, that's the way the ed-ee-tor 'splained it to me. Don't know much
about that -- I don't generally call it readin' unless my lips are
allowed to move and there are pictures!
Anyway, things start with a bang -- kinda literal like -- when a space shipp is attacked by them dagblasted space pirates! An', wouldn't ya know it, but there's a woman involved, too? And pretty soon, our luckless hero -- a young piker name o' Taxa -- is involved in a quest for a jewel that has long since passed into myth...
