About the author
Born in Chicago on July 1, 1891, Otis Adelbert Kline became an adventure novelist and literary agent during the great pulp-fiction era. He was associated with Weird Tales, where many of his stories appeared, and he developed a special interest in Arabic and Orientalist subjects.
Kline is best known for his Venus novels The Planet of Peril, The Prince of Peril, and The Port of Peril, along with the Mars adventures The Swordsman of Mars and The Outlaws of Mars. Popular accounts describe a literary rivalry with Edgar Rice Burroughs, though the story is considered apocryphal. Kline died in Short Beach, Connecticut, on October 24, 1946.
