"You are a most unusual spy. What do you hope to gain now that you have revealed yourself?"
"I am not a spy," said Dumarest. "Technos has nothing to fear from me. All I want is to get away from here."
But no one would believe Earl Dumarest. So he was forced to become a fugitive on an unknown planet, using a stolen identity and endlessly fleeing, always keeping just one pace ahead of the military police.
Yet Dumarest could not flee forever. Technos was too regimented a planet for that. The time would come when he must turn and face his enemies. And that time was near.
E. C. Tubb
Edwin Charles Tubb (1919–2010) was a British writer of science fiction, fantasy and western novels. The author of over 140 novels and 230 short stories and novellas, Tubb is best known for The Dumarest Saga (US collective title: Dumarest of Terra) an epic science-fiction saga set in the far future. Michael Moorcock wrote "His reputation for fast-moving and colourful SF writing is unmatched by anyone in Britain."
Much of Tubb's work has been written under pseudonyms including Charles Grey, Carl Maddox, Alan Guthrie, Eric Storm and George Holt. He has used more than 50 pen names over five decades of writing although some of these were publishers' house names also used by other writers: Volsted Gridban (along with John Russell Fearn), Gill Hunt (with John Brunner and Dennis Hughes), King Lang (with George Hay and John W. Jennison), Roy Sheldon (with H. J. Campbell) and Brian Shaw.
