He is far from my fave sci fi writer, but I actually think some of his books were more than just average.
I'd agree with that — and also with Bill. Hubbard was no A-list writer in his day, no Asimov or Heinlein, and his stuff has aged even worse than theirs (and theirs hasn't aged well for me). But give even the devil his due. He wrote competent prose and he could spin an engaging yarn. I think he was average at best among modestly successful professional writers, but that did mean he could write much better than your average person.
