Edwin C. Tubb (1919-2010) http://www.locusmag.com/News/2010/09/ec-tubb-1919-2010 / As recorded in the site of Locus, a few days ago is dead British author Edwin Charles Tubb. The writer, nonagenarian, was still active on the literary scene and has been exceptionally prolific, there's a story in which says a lot about him: it shows that at the time Tubb directed a science fiction magazine, did not receive material that are deemed good enough to be published he wrote an entire issue by using self its many pseudonyms. Must be understood in full, including letters from readers :-).
Tubb probably was not the finest writer of sf on the square, but it was certainly a very solid craftsman, and produced stories about stories that can entertain the readers through the decades. He wrote mainly space-opera, and the good old sci-fi space adventure, and in its result is the greater number of plethoric Earl Dumarest, composed of over thirty novels (the last volume had appeared in time last year ).
in recent years has enjoyed Tubb a return of interest on the part of Italian (not big publishers, but good). The Elara, publisher of historical fiction (ex Libra, former Perseus) is publishing for its elegant types Dumarest cycle. Edizioni della Vigna had published other hand I held, a title that moves away from the classic production "space" of Tubb, a novel hybrid of thriller, horror and fantasy.
