or at least he would, if his books were more readily available.

I've managed to find a copy of a book called - from memory - the secret six - or something. He writes a fun mixture of conspiracy, boys own adventures, stories full of mystery, eastern promise, no doubt out-dated notions of india and the like - but they are damned good fun.

I've just noticed that a series of re-releases of his Jimgrim novels (Jim Grim is a US spy in India and the East trying to break the underground masters of evil) and was wondering if anyone had read any of his stuff, could recommend stuff and so on...

THE NINE UNKNOWN, is what you're thinking of.

Yeah, imagine Bond cross-fertilized with Indiana Jones and dumped in a world of Madame Blavastky's craziest ramblings. Fun pulp stuff that (IIRC) keeps the period stereotypes to a minimum.

He also did a sequence of stories featuring a Phoenician sea captain and his crew waging a personal vendetta against Julius Caesar. Those should be readily available second hand.
