- About The Author
- Luis Philip Senarens, born on April 24, 1863, in Brooklyn, New York, was a prominent American writer known for his dime novels and science fiction stories. Raised in a Cuban-American family, Senarens found early success in the world of pulp fiction. He is best known for revitalizing the Frank Reade adventure series, originally created by Harry Enton in 1868. Senarens introduced Frank Reade, Jr. as the new protagonist and added futuristic concepts like electricity, airships, and helicopters, which led to his being dubbed "the American Jules Verne." His innovative approach to storytelling captivated readers, and by the 1890s, he was asked to create a similar series, Jack Wright, the Boy Inventor, for publisher Frank Tousey. Senarens also contributed extensively to the Frank Reade Library, a series of periodicals focused on invention stories, under the pseudonym Noname. Over the course of his career, he wrote more than 300 dime novels, establishing himself as a pioneer of science fiction in the United States. In 1917, he became the editor of Mystery Magazine, a detective story periodical. Senarens passed away on December 26, 1939, leaving behind a legacy in the genre of adventure and science fiction.
