From Deep Waters The Complete Adventures of the Major Volume 1 L Patrick Greene Ed Hulse Books

Starting in 1919 L. Patrick Greene wrote almost 100 stories taking place in then current Africa. These stories appeared in some of the finest pulp adventure magazines and where immensely popular at the time, but are all but lost. Now thanks to Matt Moring and the staff at Altus Press they are all coming back.

The Major (Aubrey St. John) a Britsh dandy who is always an upright proper and prim gentlemen is accompanied by his faithful servant a Hottentot native Jim. The Major and Jim are much more a team then Master and Servant. Think
Lone Ranger and Tonto or Green Hornet and Kato.

The stories build on each other and add to the enjoyment. Elements and characters from prevoius stories reenter the scene along the way increasing the fun. The pleasure also comes from the discovery in each story of how the Major and Jim are going to outsmart and outwit their opponents.

L Patrick Greene spent time as a mounted policeman in Rhodesia and he is clearly familiar with his subject matter.

The book comes with an excellent introduction from Ed Hulse publsher of the best current publication on pulp magazines.

Also included is some back matter including a glossary of Arfican terms. At $19.95 for a 300 page small press trade paperback this is also a real bargain. The book includes the first 12 adventures of the Major, and I eagerly await further volumes.

Highly Recommended.

From Deep Waters The Complete Adventures of the Major Volume 1 L Patrick Greene Ed Hulse Books Reviews

I first discovered The Major through Black Dog Books and that set me on a path looking for copies of Adventure and Short Stories that had stories of him. This book fills in gaps in my collection and I hope they will see the series to fruition. I think there are over 100 Major stories and I can't wait to read and in some case re-read every last one! Highly recommended series that gets better and better. Buy it.
I didn't know what to expect having never heard of this character. Pleasantly surprised by sharp writing, wonderful characters and exotic adventures. I eagerly await the next volume in this series.
