Now, those books would be AWESOME to read! Any chance he can get the rights from Robeson's Estate???
That WOULD be super-cool. I wonder if rights to something like that would be especially hard to get. Sometimes rights to do adaptations or derivatives of old out-of-print stuff can be had surprisingly cheaply. I think I read somewhere that someone bought a film option on an old Olaf Stapledon novel for only like a few hundred dollars. I wonder if there is an estate that would be interested in licensing new Doc Savage books...hmm.
Ok did some more research on it, and it's murkier and more complex than I thought. Turns out Robeson is not a real person but a house name for the publisher (which sounds familiar now that I think about it). It's unclear to me, however, who has rights for things like novels.
