LINCOLN, Maurice

LINCOLN, Maurice
   Pseudonym of a UK writer, apparently born in 1887, whose two sf novels display an uneasy bantering tone and slyly cluttered plots which make his or her identification of some potential interest. In Nothing Ever Happens (1927) two young UK men are transported to an unlocatable island run by animpossibly old Master - it is possible T.H. WHITE's similar The Master (1957) owes some debt to this book - where they are induced to breed withhis daughters and discover that he himself breeds ANDROIDS. In The Man from Up There (1929) a similar duo discovers - and attempts to profit from - a Cyclopean giant from the Moon, whose arrival on Earth has stopped allradio transmissions for days. Eventually the giant goes home.
