About the author
C. J. Wedlake is an obscure science fiction author associated online with Peril Orbit, a story first published in Planet Stories in 1949 and now available through public-domain archives.
Reliable biographical details about the person behind the name are scarce. Major reader and archive sites list the author and the work, but they do not provide a clear life story, dates, or background, so any fuller portrait would be guesswork.
That scarcity has made Wedlake one of those intriguing mid-century magazine writers who are remembered mainly through the fiction they left behind. For listeners who enjoy vintage speculative fiction, the surviving work offers a glimpse of classic space-age adventure from the pulp era.
