Lodwick, John
Entry updated 12 August 2018. Tagged: Author.
(1916-1959) UK author whose highly competent novels tend to insert somewhat depressive adventurers into a greyed post-World War Two world; of sf interest is Peal of Ordnance (1947), set in Near Future and featuring a distressed soldier who, after being demobbed, blows up the War Office and the Albert Memorial.
