Robert W Krepps – författare

Geoff St. Reynard was the pseudonym of US author Robert Wilson Krepps for most of his sf and fantasy work, though he wrote adventure tales under his own name, some for “slick” journals like The Saturday Evening Post. Today he is remembered mostly for two highly imaginative novellas, The Buttoned Sky and The Giants from Outer Space. In this book he has created a wonderful sci-fi/fantasy action and adventure story, in some ways resembling John Carter’s adventures on Mars. It was originally published in Imaginations Stories of Science and Fantasy in August, 1953. (Goodreads)

Excerpt: "They tried to kill Alan Rackham about an hour after he had seen the accident. They bungled the job. They shot at him from ambush—with an ordinary automatic pistol—as he was walking up to his house; and Brave, who had a sixth sense for danger which never failed him, knocked Alan over at the very instant of the shot and sprawled across him, a great solid shield holding him down and protecting him despite his angry wrigglings. Brave''s grenade pistol was in his hand before the two of them hit ground, and he sent four quick shots at the bushes, spaced so that the tiny hot fragments tore hell out of thirty yards of shrubbery. Nobody yelled or groaned. Brave waited a full minute, and then he rose cautiously, so that Alan could sit up and brush himself off and swear as he spat out dirt. They went into the house and Alan reported the assassination attempt to his immediate superior, Dr. Getty. After that they didn''t try again to kill Alan for a long time."
