About the author
Lester Del Rey (1915-1993) was a towering figure in the realm of science fiction and fantasy, whose life and work left an indelible mark on the genre. Born Leonard Knapp in Minnesota, Del Rey's early life was shrouded in mystery and self-created myths, adding an enigmatic allure to his persona. He began his career during the Golden Age of Science Fiction, contributing to seminal pulp magazines and quickly establishing himself as a master storyteller. Del Rey's literary contributions are vast and varied, ranging from short stories to full-length novels. He was known for his deft blending of hard science fiction with deeply humanistic themes, often exploring the ethical implications of technological advancements. His works frequently delved into the complexities of human nature, making them resonate with readers across generations. A notable controversy in Del Rey's career was his role as an editor. Alongside his wife, Judy-Lynn del Rey, he revitalized Ballantine Books' science fiction line, shaping the tastes of an entire generation of readers and writers. However, his editorial style was sometimes criticized for being overly commercial, prioritizing marketability over literary quality. Del Rey's influence on contemporary writers is profound. He championed revolutionary ideas, such as the exploration of artificial intelligence and space colonization, long before they became mainstream topics. His mentorship of young authors and his keen eye for talent helped launch the careers of many now-famous writers, including Stephen R. Donaldson and Anne McCaffrey. In an era where science fiction often leaned towards the fantastical, Del Rey's commitment to scientific plausibility and ethical inquiry set him apart. His legacy endures, not just in his own writings, but in the thriving genre he helped shape and elevate.
