Okay, I bit the beebee and googled Pel Torro -- the 'Net is a wonderful gratifier of morbid curiosities -- and found it one of many pen names of one Robert Lionel Fanthorpe, a harmless-looking Britisher...
Pel Torro among other picks for worst-ever novelwriting, and the choices vary wildly according to literary taste, but there are assorted useful links there.
One chucklehead thought
Time Enough For Love was about the worst -- can't see it myself -- but quite a few of the usual suspects showed up in the list. L. Ron You-Know-Who came in for a lot of it, with some mentions of
Dune and parts thereof, and a bunch of the usual suspects. Alan Dean Foster is somebody to write better than -- if he can get published, you can too. I didn't happen to see if anyone nominated late Christopher Stasheff -- the poor man seems to have lost his touch.
