Chas. A. Stopher

Very little biographical information about this author is readily confirmed from reliable online sources. What can be verified is that Chas. A. Stopher is credited as the author of Solar Stiff, a science fiction story that is available through Project Gutenberg and has also been republished by modern book platforms.

Because dependable personal details are scarce, the author is best introduced through the work itself. Solar Stiff has the feel of mid-century pulp science fiction: fast-moving, playful, and full of speculative energy, with an alien protagonist, survival stakes, and a touch of offbeat humor.

For readers browsing an audiobook library, Stopher stands out as one of those elusive genre names preserved by a single memorable story rather than a well-documented public life. That bit of mystery is part of the appeal.
