Beat ya to it ;)
Also Poul Anderson “The Time Patrol” is a good, in the ‘dumb fun’ sense.
Three authors owned a house boat together and tried to live in Mexico together with their respective families on the cheap with writing advances/ pulp work: Frank Herbert, Jack Vance, and Poul Anderson.
If you read any autobiographical type stuff from any on them they will mention being great buddies and having adventures.
Jack Vance says he was there when Herbert came up with the concept of Dune in Mexico; he’s never read it though. He’s a character, Vance.
My favs from Anderson are Polesotechnic League/van Rinj/ Terran Empire/Ensign Flandry. We actually have a Freeper named ‘dominic flandry.’
Vance and Anderson have written both classic sci-fi and ‘fantasy.’ Fairly unusual.
My handle is taken from CS Lewis and his space trilogy.
