Stephen Marlowe (1928–2008), born Milton Lesser, was an enormously productive writer who published science fiction steadily through the 1950s before finding wider fame with his Chester Drum private-eye novels and, later, ambitious literary historical fiction. His SF, written for the digests of the day, is skilled, fast-moving popular storytelling from one of the era's true professionals.
