Book description
THE DAUGHTER OF KAIFENG The world was haunted. Every sunset the natives
went home, locked their doors, and pulled down the window blinds. Ghosts
didn't scare Kennedy. As an agent of FATE, it took more than
superstition to shake him. But Epidoris was the real thing. Monsters did
appear in the darkness, people did vanish at night - a whole MALACA
barracks had vanished, garrison, weapons and building. That's what
brought Kennedy to Epidoris. That and one thing more - a creature of the
infamous Dr. Kaifeng had turned up. A beautiful woman, a princess she
called herself - but Kennedy had seen her before - lying in a processing
vat on a Kaifeng planetoid of warped genetics. Between the scientific
machinations of the galaxy's most perverted mind and the spectral
realities of a disputed world there had to be a meaning that boded no
good for Terra - and that's where Kennedy came in. Edwin Charles Tubb
was born in London in 1919, and was a prolific author of SF, fantasy and
western novels, under his own name and a number of pseudonyms. He wrote
hundreds of short stories and novellas for the SF magazines of the 50's,
including the long-running Galaxy Science Fiction, and was a founding
member of the British Science Fiction Association. He died in 2010.
