L. Ron Hubbard

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.

Reviews for Writers of the Future 32

[landwaster_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

After 30 years I finally bit the bullet and read a Writers of the Future book, and I was pleasantly surprised. All the new writers showcased here provided excellent work. I was especially impressed by Megan E. O'Keefe, Paul Eckheart, and Timothy Jordan, but really - all the new works are quite good. There are also stories by veterans L. Ron Hubbard, Orson Scott Card, and Mike Resnick. The Card & Resnick are quite good; the Hubbard is absolute dreck - a real blight on the rest of the book.I hadn't been aware of the "Illustrators of the Future" aspect to the contest. The illustrations included here are quite good and generally complement the story well.Aside from the Hubbard story, my only criticism of the book is the "About the Author" and "About the Illustrator" pages. They really make an otherwise polished and substantive book feel like amateur hour.Overall, I'd recommend the book and am now interested in reading other entries in the series.
