About the author

Conan T. Troy is the credited author of The Conjurer of Venus, a science fiction novel that Project Gutenberg lists as having been produced from Planet Stories (November 1952). The book is set on Venus and has the fast-moving, imaginative feel associated with pulp-era planetary adventure.

Reliable biographical information about the person behind the name is scarce in the sources I could confirm. Project Gutenberg currently lists only one work under Conan T. Troy, and standard catalog-style listings I found also point mainly to The Conjurer of Venus.

That makes Troy an interesting figure for curious readers: not a heavily documented literary celebrity, but an author connected with the rich magazine tradition that helped shape classic science fiction. If you like hidden corners of the genre, this is the kind of name worth stumbling across.
