      INTRODUCTION

      Robert Moore Williams (1907–1977) was an American writer, primarily of science fiction. He sometimes used pseudonyms for his work, including John S Browning, H.H. Harmon, Russell Storm and E.K. Jarvis (a house name shared by multiple authors).

      Williams was born in Farmington, Missouri. He graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 1931. His first published story was Zero as a Limit, which appeared in Astounding Science Fiction in 1937, under the pseudonym of Robert Moore.

      He was a prolific author throughout his career, with his last novel appearing in 1972. His Jongor adventure series—reminiscent of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ work—was originally published in Fantastic Adventures in the 1940s and 1950s. It featured the adventures of a Tarzan-type barbarian hero in and underground world. Jongor battled both monsters and ancient super-science. The series was reprinted in three volumes as paperbacsk in 1970. Another, very similar series features Zanthar as its hero. He is another mighty warrior, but his adventures are set in space and feature mutants.

      By the end of his career, Willialms had published over 150 stories and 27 novels. His work can frequently be found on the used book market, should you wish to look for additional titles.
