Kris Neville (1925–1980) wrote emotionally rich science fiction in the 1950s, most memorably ‘Bettyann’, a tender story of an adopted alien girl often cited among the era’s finest. His genre output slowed as he became, remarkably, a leading industrial authority on epoxy resins, co-authoring standard technical handbooks. A distinctive, humane voice whose best work still moves readers.
