Edwin Charles TUBB (b. 1919 - d. 2010.) English writer and editor who began publishing SF with 'No Short Cuts' for New Worlds,in 1951,and for the next half decade produced a prodigious amount of fiction,in British magazines and in book form,under his own name and many other pseudonyms,some still undisclosed.The next decade ('60s) saw few ECT titles,until the introduction in 'The Winds of Gath' (1967); revised,variant title 'Gath' 1968(UK) of his most popular character,Earl Dumarest, whose search for Earth - the planet on which he was born,and which no-one seems to believe exists - extends from planet to planet in a post-Galactic-Empire period.As Dumarest moves gradually outwards of Galactic Centre, along a spiral arm of stars,he gathers clues about the location of Earth and is increasingly opposed by the Cyclan,a vast organization of passionless humans linked cybernetically to a central organic computer.
To 1977 the 'Dumarest' series contained 17 novels,this title being the 7th and 'Mayenne' the 9th - see my book ID rja927421 for a similar Near MINT but,US,DAW,1973 p/b 1st edn,2nd imp.
