The Golden Age Stories by L. Ron Hubbard were very popular at the book fair which is no surprise as L. Ron Hubbard is not only the most translated author worldwide, one of his books sells every 2 seconds in over 150 countries. The Stories from the Golden Age are now being published by Galaxy Press in 80 volumes a total of 153 stories full of excitement, drama, mystery, suspense and action.

What are the Stories from the Golden Age? These are stories from the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction which reached its peak of popularity in the 1940s, but really had started in the 1920s. The sheer volume of tales released during this wondrous golden age remains unmatched in any other period of literary history—hundreds of thousands of published stories in over nine hundred different magazines. Some titles lasted only an issue or two; many magazines succumbed to paper shortages during World War II, while others endured for decades yet. Pulp fiction remains as a treasure trove of stories you can read, stories you can love, stories you can remember. The stories were driven by plot and character, with grand heroes, terrible villains, beautiful damsels (often in distress), diabolical plots, amazing places, breathless romances. The readers wanted to be taken beyond the mundane, to live adventures far removed from their ordinary lives—and the pulps rarely failed to deliver. This time period saw the emergence of many memorable characters such as Tarzan, King Kong, Conan—The Barbarian, Doc Savage, The Shadow and even Zorro. Hollywood has long since recognized the pure entertainment that jumps from the pages of these stories and has turned many such tales into blockbuster movies. As to the authors who penned them, some of the more lasting names include H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, Max Brand, Louis L'Amour, Elmore Leonard, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Erle Stanley Gardner, John D. MacDonald, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein—and, of course, L. Ron Hubbard. For more information on the Golden Age of Pulp Fiction go here: Golden Age Stories FAQ http://www.goldenagestories.com/html/faq.php

  • I recently heard an audio version of one of Mr. Hubbard's fantasy stories, The Crossroads. The story surprised me with its complexity of plot. Very enjoyable! So I eagerly look forward to hearing more of these incredible stories as shown in this video

  • I absolutely love Hubbard's science fiction.

    it's got action and future science predictions as well as a real humanity on a level that i have not found in any other science fiction writer.

  • The output of Hubbard is just incredible. Not only did he come up with a brand-new philosophy that revolutionized the field of education, drug rehabilitation and criminal reform, he also had an incredible imagination from which he extracted these cool stories. He really was quite a fellow!

  • Very interesting. One thing that is very rarely recognized is quite how much Hubbard produced. That one man could produce this volume of material, regardless of its contents is amazing. And then, when you look at the contents of his material, both fiction and non-fiction, you realize what a phenomenon this man was.

    Incredible.
