For a man who never flew before to step from an airplane into space thousands of feet above the earth--that takes nerve! Yet old Beth knew that was the only slim chance for his fire-trapped logging crew.

"Fire of Retribution" appeared in "Argosy All-Story Weekly," October 20, 1928, pages 712 - 717.

Lawrence Louis Donovan (July 1885 – March 11, 1948) was an American pulp fiction writer who wrote nine 'Doc Savage' novels under the pseudonym "Kenneth Robeson",' a pen name that was used by other writers of the same publishing house. However, there are nine 'Doc Savage' novels duly credited to Donovan, published between November 1935 and July 1937. Three of his Doc Savage novels were "adapted" as early Superman comic book stories.

He employed various pen names; "Austin Gridley", "Patrick Everett", "Patrick Lawrence", "Wallace Brooker" and "Clifford Goodrich". Other pen names included "Don Lewis", "Don Lawrence" and "Larry Dunn", by which Donovan concealed his identity in the lurid Spicy Stories magazines.

After a falling out with his editor in 1938, Donovan moved over to the rival Thrilling Publications, where he wrote under the house name of "Robert Wallace".
