Randall Garrett (1927–1987) was one of the most reliable and versatile writers of science fiction's magazine heyday, at ease with everything from hard SF to broad parody. His finest creation, the Lord Darcy series, is set in an alternate history where magic is a rigorous science, and blends the detective story with fantasy to memorable effect. He also collaborated widely and wrote under a shelf of pseudonyms.
