Born 1921, died 2005; English novelist active mid‑20th to late‑20th century; wrote science fiction and fantasy, including The Million Year Hunt; used the pseudonym Alan Burt Akers.

The available review treats The Million Year Hunt as a typical mid‑century genre novel: imaginative, smoothly written and engaging, with a young protagonist (Arthur Ross Carson) and galactic intrigue. The reviewer praises Bulmer's prose but regards the work as not a cornerstone of the genre and finds the ending somewhat weak.
