Autor

Guy Thorne was the pen name of Cyril Arthur Edward Ranger Gull (1876-1923), an English novelist and journalist who gained popularity in the early 20th century. While Thorne's writings encompassed different genres, he is perhaps best remembered for his speculative and sensationalist literature. 'The Secret Service Submarine,' a thrilling tale of espionage and underwater adventure, reflects Thorne's penchant for stories that combine patriotism with high-octane plotlines. Thorne's narrative style often weaved intricate plots with a mix of realism and romanticism, catering to an audience thirsting for both adventure and national pride during a time of burgeoning global tensions leading up to World War I. Moreover, Thorne contributed to the literary trend of exploring technological marvels and their implications, which was a hallmark of the period's fiction. His work resonates with contemporary authors who highlighted the wonders and perils of innovations. Despite his prolific writing career, Thorne's prominence has since faded, leaving him as a relatively obscure figure in modern literary discourse. Nevertheless, his novels, including 'The Secret Service Submarine,' remain a testament to the themes and style that captivated readers during his era.
