E.C. Tubb is a British writer who started publishing sf in the early 50's.
His output is longer than I'd care to list --- Robert Reginald's SCIENCE
FICTION AND FANTASY LITERATURE, VOLUME 1: INDEXES TO THE LITERATURE, which
only goes up to 1974, lists over 60 books by Tubb under various pseudonyms.
He's done *at least* 20 books since then. Aside from the Dumarest series,
he's most well-known as the author of the Cap Kennedy series for DAW Books
under the pseudonym Gregory Kern. Tubb has also written a handful of novel-
izations of SPACE: 1999 episodes.

	With the exception of the Cap Kennedy books, all but one (as far as
I know) of his novels published under psuedonyms have been published only
in Britain. With that one novel (ENTERPRISE 2115) the American publication
(retitled THE MECHANICAL MONARCH) had Tubb's own name on it.
