Wonderful adventures and pure-Vance action!

Evert time I see even more work by an author from the 1950s, I become convinced that those authors had been tied to a chair in front of a typewriter and forced to write, write, write...

Goodreads has his "Aka John Holbrooke Vance, Peter Held, John Holbrook, Ellery Queen, John van See, Alan Wade." Wikipedia lists 55 novels, a list of "selected collections" of 15 volumes, and a list of "selected novellas" (some or all of which may be in the "selected volumes") of 12. And compared to a lot of writers of the time, he was a slacker.

Compared to a few I know now, he's a slacker.

Max Alan Collins does sort of come to mind...and Robert Randisi...

The difference is that the quality and originality of Jack Vance's work makes him a Grand Master.
