Worts, George F.: Peter the Brazen v1 15 may 2009
George F. Worts was an extremely popular pulp magazine writer known not only for this series but also for his Singapore Sammy stories and Gillian Hazeltine mystery novels. Worts, who was born in Ohio on March 16, 1892 was a successful author, businessman and editor. When he was still a young man, he worked as a ship's radio operator much like his character, Peter the Brazen. After living most of his life on the East Coast, Worts moved to Hawaii where he died in 1967.
This story was first published in 1918 in ARGOSY and is one of the most popular of early pulp fiction. It remains very readable today. I transformed the frontispiece to cover.
This is a definite must!
