About this ebook
"Adventure, suspense, and just good fun." -- Dallas News
"Excitement, plot ... once started the ball of adventure becomes a rolling stone ... the young professor does enough first-hand research in the underworld to satisfy anybody." -- Chicago Tribune
"Mr. Wylie meant to entertain, and he succeeds beautifully." -- Houston Post
Philip Wylie
Philip Wylie (1902–1971) was a prolific writer whose work spanned a range of genres from men’s adventure and detective stories to science fiction and social criticism. Several of his novels, including When Worlds Collide, Night Unto Night, and Los Angeles: A.D. 2017, as well as the Crunch & Des stories, were adapted as movies and television shows, and his novel Gladiator is considered one of the inspirations for the iconic character Superman. Wylie was also a commentator on American society. In 1942 he published Generation of Vipers, a bestselling book of essays that attacked the complacencies of the American way of life. His novel The Disappearance presents a dystopia in which men and women vanish from the perception of the opposite sex, allowing Wylie to explore the issues of women’s rights and homosexuality. Wylie recognized early the potentially catastrophic effects of pollution and climate change and wrote both fiction and nonfiction on those topics.
