Walter Brown Gibson bol americký autor a profesionálny kúzelník, najlepšie známy pre svoju prácu na postave z pulp fiction, The Shadow. Pod pseudonymom Maxwell Grant napísal „viac ako 300 románových“ príbehov o The Shadow, pričom písal až „10 000 slov denne“, aby uspokojil verejný dopyt počas zlatej éry postavy v 30. a 40. rokoch 20. storočia. Jeho rýchle a plodné písanie mu umožnilo vytvoriť hrdinu, ktorý sa stal ikonou populárnej kultúry. Gibsonovo dielo odráža ducha doby a jeho schopnosť vytvárať pútavé príbehy.

In 1942 a ship carrying 500 escapees from Japanese-occupied Singapore set sail for Ceylon. Halfway to safety she was torpedoed and sank. Only one lifeboat was launched―a lifeboat built to carry twenty-eight but to which 135 souls now looked to for salvation. For twenty-six days, cannibalism, murder, heroism, and self-sacrifice drifted with her. There were only four survivors.
