Charles R. Tanner
Bio: Charles R. Tanner (1896-74) was one of a handful of pioneering writers who penned stories for the first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories, during the earliest years of its existence. His stories inspired writers of Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and L. Sprague de Camp's generation, who were all young boys in the early-1930s when Tanner was most active. Notable classics by Tanner include: "The Color of Space" (1930), "The Revolt of the Machine Men" (1942), "Cham of the Hills" (1943), and "Mr. Garfinkle and the Leprechaun" (1953).However, Tanner was best remembered for his vigorous action-adventure series about Tumithak.

Tumithak of the Corridors [Tumithak #1] [MultiFormat]
by Charles R. Tanner

"Human Characters and an Exciting Plot!"--Isaac Asimov. Tumithak of the Corridors is a keystone science fiction classic from the pages of the 1931 Amazing Stories. It made a big impression on the youthful Isaac Asimov, who later described it as "far and away the best and most exciting story I had ever read up to that time.

In the battle between the Mog and the woman, there was no last-minute rescue of the woman or any last-minute conversion of the Mog.
