WADE, Tom W.

(? -)

   UK writer who published mainly with sf publishers John Spencer (BADGER BOOKS) under various pseudonyms. As Victor Wadey he wrote two bad yet charming sf novels, A Planet Named Terra (1962) and its sequel The United Planets (1962). The distant planet confusingly called Terra ispopulated by the REINCARNATIONS of people from Earth, notably Elizabeth I, as space explorers from Earth discover to their amazement. He wrote Chaos in Arcturus (1953) and Chariot into Time (1953) under the house name Karl Zeigfreid as well as, fairly certainly, the remaining unidentified titlelisted in the Karl ZEIGFREID entry. Under the house name Victor LA SALLE he wrote Assault from Infinity (1953), The Seventh Dimension (1953) and Suns in Duo (1953). As TWW he wrote 2 later tales, The World of Theda(1962) and The Voice from Baru (1963).
