: : : : I am trying to find out if Author Norton "ever" used the name : : : of "Andrew North", possibly at the very beginniing of her : : : writing career. If anyone knows please e-mail me at : : : MMM52@aol.com Thank you.

: She published several novels under that pseudonym, all of which were done by Ace (I don't know if there were hardcovers). The ones I'm aware of are Sargasso of Space, Plague Ship and Vodoo Planet. These all concerned, if memory serves (and it may not), a freighter-type commercial space ship.

: Regards an earlier reply, I was under the impression The Time Traders and its sequels appeared under the Andre Norton byline.

The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy Through 1968 compiled by Donald H. Tuck (Advent, 1978) lists only the Solar Queen books as novels by "North.". I thought only the Solar Queen novels were pubbed under the Andrew North ps. I don't think I've seen any others.

I've been buying her books since the first Ace Double paperback editions. The first Ace Double edition with "Sargasso of Space" typoed it "Sagasso of Space" on the spine, incidentally.

Tuck says Andre's first sf appearance was in FANTASY BOOK #1 (1947) with "People of the Crater" as by Andrew North.
