About the author

Very little confirmed biographical information appears to survive about Conan T. Troy. Reliable catalog and library records consistently connect the name with The Conjurer of Venus, and speculative-fiction bibliographies also attribute the short piece A Thousand Futures to the same author.

That small body of work places Troy among the many mid-20th-century science fiction writers who flashed briefly into print and then became hard to trace. For listeners who enjoy vintage planetary adventure and the feel of classic pulp-era imagination, Troy’s work offers a glimpse of that tradition.

Because so few dependable personal details are readily documented, the author is best approached through the fiction itself rather than through a well-known public life or extensive literary career.
