Requirements: .ePUB reader, 257 KB
Overview: John Lymington (1911-1983) was born John Newton Chance in London. He was a prolific writer of short stories, children’s literature, mystery and science fiction novels. An obituary in Ansible Link credits Lymington with writing over 150 novels, ‘including 20+ SF potboilers’, adding that he ‘made a steady income by delivering thrillers to Robert Hale (the publisher) at a chapter a week’.
Lymington’s first book, Wheels in the Forest, was written in 1935. He also wrote Night of the Big Heat in 1959. Several of his short stories were collected in The Night Spiders in 1964. Pseudonyms used by Lymington throughout his career included John Drummond, David C. Newton, Desmond Reid (see ‘Sexton Blake’) and Jonathan Chance. Brian Stableford suggested in the Historical Dictionary of Science Fiction Literature (pp. 208) that the name Lymington was chosen ‘in a blatant attempt to cash in’ on John Wyndham’s popularity.
