KARIG, Walter

KARIG, Walter
(1898-1956)
   US journalist and novelist, a pseudonymous author for many years of the Nancy Drew detective series and others. War in the Atomic Age? (1946 chap) compresses into very few pages a sequence of 21st-centurysuperscience duels between the USA and Galaxia - they include atomic warfare, FORCE FIELDS, biological WEAPONS and underwater ROBOT tanks. The USA wins hands down. In his sf fantasy, Zotz! (1947), a man - given theancient power to kill by pointing his hand and saying "Zotz!" - is frustrated by bureaucracy in his attempts to help the USA win WWII; the effect is mildly satirical.
