About the author

Robb White was partnered with gimmick horror film king William Castle during Castle's most popular and productive period. Born in the Philippines, White was a preacher's son who held a wide variety of jobs before landing in the Navy during World War II. He initially collaborated with Castle on the short-lived TV series "Men of Annapolis" (1957), then joined forces with the enterprising producer-director on the horror thrillers "Macabre" (1958), "House on Haunted Hill" (1959), "The Tingler" (1959), "Homicidal" (1961), and "13 Ghosts" (1960). He later went back to TV writing, including "Perry Mason" (1957), as well as novels.

[Roy · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of my first library books. Multiple reads.
Probably started me on the military story kick.
Loved the thought of being scuba qualified and working through the puzzles that someone had created to stop you from disarming the explosives.

Robb White was the first "big book" author I read as a kid and I enjoyed all of his books.
