↑ Howard (1989), p.12: "I have carefully gone over, in my mind, the most powerful men — that is, in my opinion — in all of the world's literature and here is my list... Jack London..."
↑ Lord(1976) p. 44: "But my favorite writers, both of prose and verse, are British or Americans. They are... Jack London... where is the Frenchman who writes, or wrote, with the fire of Jack London...?"
↑ Herron (2004) p. 144: "The reincarnation theology espoused in the works of Jack London — most notably in The Sea Wolf (1904), Before Adam (1907), and especially The Star Rover (1915) — ultimately became the single greatest influence on Howard as a writer. In 1930 Howard wrote to his friend Harold Preece that 'London's The Star Rover is a book that I've read and reread for years, and that generally goes to my head like wine.'"
