(1885-1944) UK author, known mostly for numerous detective novels and thrillers in collaboration with Hilary Saunders (1898-1951), both writing together as Francis Beeding (for their joint sf see that entry); "bad eyesight" barred him from active service in World War One. The Hesperides: A Looking-Glass Fugue (1936) by Palmer solo is a Satire in the style of the Scientific Romance whose human protagonist visits Venus, where he discovers a Dystopia suffering under totalitarian thought control, and takes part in a revolt.

Palmer's other works include Rudyard Kipling (1915), a book-length study of Rudyard Kipling. [JC]
