FORGOTTEN BOOKS #153: TAMA OF THE LIGHT COUNTRY & TAMA, PRINCESS OF MERCURY By Ray Cummings



Randy Johnson reviewed Tama of the Light Country and Tama, Princess of Mercury last month. You can read his take here. And Bill Lengeman also recommended the Tama books. Within the last month, I’ve posted FFB reviews of Michael Moorcock’s Kane of Mars series, Otis Adelbert Kline’s Mars novels. Ray Cummings’ Tama novels fit the same template. Both Tama tales were originally published in Argosy: Tama of the Light Country in 1930, Tama, Princess of Mercury in 1931. Take that into consideration if you decided to read these yarns. If you’re a fan of SF adventure novels, Cumming’s tales of the winged virgins of Mercury will entertain you.

    I never read these, though I recall seeing these covers on the spinner rack someplace or other. I have been meaning to try re-reading one of the Bouroughs Carter books one of these days.

      I enjoyed THE GIRL IN THE GOLDEN ATOM, too, Scott. I’ve read all the ACE Books editions of Ray Cummings’ work. You should check out SHADOW GIRL.
