About the author
Born Berkeley Beryl Levinstein in 1909, he wrote as Berkeley Livingston and built a career in American pulp science fiction. Reliable reference sources describe him as a US author whose genre work began appearing in the early 1940s, with many stories published in Fantastic Adventures and Amazing.
He was especially active during the 1940s and is credited with roughly fifty science-fiction stories. Some of that work appeared not only under his own name but also under pseudonyms including Alexander Blade and Morris J. Steele, a common pattern in magazine publishing of the period.
Livingston died in 1975. He is remembered mainly by readers of classic magazine science fiction, where his fiction still stands out for its brisk pacing, inventive plots, and energetic pulp storytelling.
