COLLINS, Gilbert

COLLINS, Gilbert
(1900-?)
   UK writer in various genres, whose two LOST-WORLD novels are of sf interest. The Valley of Eyes Unseen (1923) finds a Tibetan hidden valley inhabited by scientifically advanced descendants of Alexander the Great's Greeks, from whom the protagonist eventually escapes using purloined mechanical wings. In The Starkenden Quest (1925) the valley is located in Indochina, the primordial dwarf inhabitants are enthralled by an immortal blonde priestess (who nevertheless dies), and a great flood ends the tale.
