Use as a collective pseudonym

Initially, Robert Lamont was used as a collective pseudonym. Almost all of the booklets in the Professor Zamorra series were published under this pseudonym for many years . In the area of ​​the first 15 Zamorra issues, some authors also used other pseudonyms, then (with the exception of three issues by AF Morland ) all authors wrote under this pseudonym. A total of 699 booklet novels , two hardbacks and one paperback under this pseudonym were published by two publishers .

After all other authors left, only novels by Werner Kurt Giesa appeared under this pseudonym . The paperback The Crystal of Power - a new edition of a Professor Zamorra cycle - also fell during this period . From volume 588 onwards, novels by other authors appeared again, as Giesa was no longer able to write all of the novels in the series for health reasons.

In other series of the publisher the pseudonym was used only once. The ghost thriller 67 was written by someone whose surname is known to this day and that he / she never wrote for Professor Zamorra.
