WHAT'S NEW? Lester Dent's Zeppelin Tales Now Available! Lester Dent penned many pulp adventures before he created Doc Savage in 1933 under the house name Kenneth Robeson. Lester Dent's Zeppelin Tales collects five airship-themed stories published from 1930 to 1932, and includes material restored from Dent's original manuscripts! Lester Dent's Zeppelin Tales is nearly 100,000 words of pulpy goodness, and is available now as a PDF from e23. It should be available from most online booksellers shortly (it is currently listed with BarnesAndNoble.com and Amazon.co.uk), and you can special order it from your local bookshop: just tell them it is available from Ingram or Baker & Taylor in the US or Blackwell's or Bertram's in the UK. Old news is still available on the News Page.

TRMGS Volume Two TRMGS Volume Two has more Space: 1889 material than you can shake a Pushti Fruit at (shaking Pushti Fruit not advised).
