C. J. Wedlake
A hard-to-pin-down science fiction writer remembered today mainly for the space adventure Peril Orbit. Very little biographical information appears to survive online, which gives the work an old-pulp air of mystery.

About the author
C. J. Wedlake is credited as the author of Peril Orbit, a science fiction story that has been preserved and circulated through public-domain and reader archives. The work is listed by Project Gutenberg, and author pages on LibriVox and Goodreads also connect the name with that title.
Reliable biographical details about Wedlake are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to treat the author as a little-documented figure from mid-20th-century magazine science fiction rather than make stronger claims about birthplace, career, or personal life. For listeners who enjoy classic pulp-era storytelling, that scarcity can be part of the appeal: the surviving fiction stands in the foreground.
If you're browsing this author page, the best introduction is simply to start with Peril Orbit and enjoy its brisk, high-stakes vision of early space adventure.
