There is a book I'm looking for that I know I've seen on numerous occasions, but I can't seem to find that it even exists anywhere. Any bibliophiles up for the task of trying to find that it does exist, and not just in my head?
The title, as I recall it, was The Green Ray. It wasn't the Jules Verne novel, nor is it the 1920's racist sci-fi novel by (Hank Thompson?)... it was a new book in the early 1990's, and the plot was that of an old time radio voice who used to appear as a crime-busting adventurer called the Green Ray... he's an old man, but he winds up getting caught up in some kind of adventure that forces him to merge his 60 year old body with the personality he developed as the Green Ray to solve what happened...
I remember the book distinctly because it was printed to look like an old pulp (rough-hewn paper edges) with an art nouveu style cover. It looked cool at the time, but I couldn't afford it, so I didn't get it. Now I can't find it on Amazon or Google or any of my usual library search engines...
