Comparison to past authors edit
Somebody appears to be having a bit of a gag with this article. I just removed the following sentence from the Career section; "Roberts' science fiction has been praised by many critics both inside and outside the genre, with some of the latter going so far as to describe him as being on a par with such past masters of the genre as Pel Torro, John E. Muller, and Karl Zeigfreid." Not only is the sentence weasely and uncited, but all three named are actually pseudonyms for the same man- Lionel Fanthorpe.
