HAILE, Terence J.

HAILE, Terence J.
(1921-1979)
   UK author of two sf novels remarkable for their clumsiness and their apparent ignorance of basic physical laws. In Space Train (1962) a farmer builds a rocket-powered train which, as a consequence of sabotage, takes off into space. There he encounters interplanetary crabs before returning to Earth. Galaxies Ahead (1963) is similarly implausible.
