Locus magazine is reporting that SF/space opera author E. C. Tubb has died... at the age of 90:

He was best known for his Dumarest of Terra series, about a hero who searched the galaxy for the planet of his birth -- Earth. However, no one has heard of it, or those who have think it's a myth.
I searched InkMesh and realized a few of his books are available as e-books, including a couple of Dumarest books. Does anyone have any E. C. Tubb recommendations, either Dumarest books or some of his other books?
