About the author
Arnold Marmor was an American writer born on March 29, 1927, in New York City. Reliable catalog and bibliography sources identify him as a prolific mid-20th-century author whose fiction appeared mainly in the 1950s and 1960s, especially in science fiction.
He is best known today for short works and novels such as Spies Die Hard!, Marty the Martian, The Scandalized Martians, Fish Fry, Birthday Present, and Not in the Script, several of which remain easy to find through Project Gutenberg. Library-style references also note that he wrote a couple of books in the long-running Nick Carter series.
Some online sources disagree about his death year, but multiple genre and audiobook-related references point to October 2, 1988, and that is the date most consistently attached to his author record. A confirmed portrait was not readily available from dependable page images, so no profile image is included here.
