“This book is an education. ADVENTURE could be subtitled "The Jack London Experience" at this time. It goes to show how revolutionary London was in changing fiction. At this time, you have some writers who straddled the pulp-slick divide such as Donn Byrne, Morgan Robertson, and William Hope Hodgson. Jack London himself appeared in pulps such as Street & Smith's THE POPULAR MAGAZINE and TOP-NOTCH. These stories don't read like what I think of as pulp. It is more like cracking open an anthology of classic adventure stories.” #44431
