Edgar Wallace

Sanders (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Like most of the later ones even though this one is called "Sanders" it very much stars Lieutenant Augustus "Bones" Tibbetts. Employing his unique style of innocent and endearing humor, Bones has written to the newspapers The Surrey Star and The Middlesex Plain Dealer inviting the Foreign Secretary to pay a visit to the African territories which they administer. It is against the regulations and his boss Hamilton is furious. While world powers vie for colonial honors, Sanders and his assistants attempt to administer an uneasy peace in a climate of ju-ju and witch doctors, and all the while Bosambo, chief of the Ochori, watches closely. "Sanders" should be on the must-read list of every action-adventure junkie.

Autorenporträt

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was a British writer known for his contributions to sensational genres like detective stories, gangster novels, adventure tales, and science fiction. He was born on April 1, 1875, in Greenwich, London, to a poor family and was raised as an illegitimate child. Wallace left school at the age of 12 and began working in various jobs before finding his way into journalism. His early life was marked by hardship, but he soon found success as a writer, contributing not only novels but also plays, screenplays, and short stories. Wallace is best remembered for his detective and crime fiction, including the creation of "The Green Archer" and the introduction of the character "King Kong" to cinema. His works were marked by suspense, high tension, and complex characters. He was married twice, first to Ivy Maude Caldecott, with whom he had a son and daughter, and later to Ethel Violet King. Wallace passed away on February 10, 1932, at the age of 56 in Beverly Hills, California.
