C. C. MacApp

Writing as C. C. MacApp, Carroll Mather Capps was an American science fiction author born in 1917 and died in 1971. His work appeared during the classic magazine era of science fiction, and he is especially remembered for lively stories with humor and adventure.

He published novels and shorter fiction, and his name is still recognized by readers of vintage science fiction. Sources also describe him as deeply involved in the San Francisco chess scene, where he served as a local chess leader and won major regional titles.

Although he is not as widely known today as some of his contemporaries, his fiction still appeals to readers who enjoy imaginative, old-school science fiction with a playful edge.
