About the Author

Alan E. Nourse was in many ways typical of the generation responsible for the “Golden Age of Science Fiction.” Born in the Midwest, he served in the Navy before entering college. He turned to writing to finance his education, and continued to write after obtaining his M.D. Most of his science fiction was written during the 50’s. In later years he wrote a number of non-fiction books on both medical and scientific topics as well as a regular column on medicine for Good Housekeeping.
