The Man from Cannae by John Jakes
#5
Wow. This guy reminds me of Kurt Vonnegut’s fictional pulp writer Kilgore Trout, who published hundreds of novels and thousands of short stories (never two by the same publisher, of course). Even some of the titles seem similar.

Sometimes I enjoy really terrible pulp stuff, like the original Conan the Barbarian short stories. Maybe it is literary slumming, but I think they can be quite fun.
