About the author
Born in Genesee, Idaho, in 1894, Thames Williamson was an American writer who worked in both fiction and screenwriting. Reliable sources agree that he published novels as well as scripts, and that his full name was Thomas Ross Williamson.
His books covered a wide range of territory, from historical and adventure fiction to work with science-fiction and lost-world elements. Reference sources also note titles such as The Man Who Cannot Die, Against the Jungle, and The Flint Chipper, showing how comfortably he moved between popular storytelling modes.
