L. Ron Hubbard wrote during the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction in the 30's, 40's and the 50's.

Contrary to popular belief, he not only wrote science fiction, even though he became well-known as a genre-shaping science fiction writer, his output in other genres such as adventure, mystery/detective and western was even greater than his speculative fiction turnout.

His first commercially published story, "The Green God" marked the emergence of a literary force.

It was all there from the first - taut action, memorably defined characters, vivid plot contours, compelling artistry and that hallmark Hubbard sense of authenticity. His tales delivered a sharp jolt of reality drawn from a wealth of his own experience in a life that, at only twenty-three, was already the widely traveled, richly diverse, boldly adventurous stuff of which towering careers - and legends - are made.

From the beginning, as well, his prodigious output reflected the colorful, Renaissance-man qualities of his life. As with Herman Melville, Mark Twain and Jack London before him, and his contemporary, Ernest Hemingway, Hubbard's experiences and travels - as an explorer and prospector, master mariner and dare-devil pilot, photographer and filmmaker, philosopher and artist, composer and musician, and always, quintessentially, as a writer - found their way into his fiction and into the currents of American culture.

His stories and novels - many of them genre shaping and trendsetting - translated the adventure and wonder of a world-traveler's journeys into living-room entertainment and transformed the exotic and provocative turns of a creative imagination into a compelling literary legacy.
