Hubbard is one of the secondary characters in this terrific
book. The main characters are Lester Dent creator of Doc
Savage & Walter Gibson creator of The Shadow. Also H.P.
Lovecraft makes an apperance. It's a great read everyone over
at Bookgasm pretty much called it book of the year when it
came out.
