About the author
Born in Sydney, Desmond Winter Hall worked in the American pulp-magazine world during the early 1930s. Reliable sources describe him as a science-fiction writer and editor, and note that he assisted on Astounding Stories and collaborated with Harry Bates.
Hall wrote under several names, including Desmond W. Hall, H. G. Winter, and Ainslee Jenkins. With Bates, he is associated with the Anthony Gilmore byline and the popular Hawk Carse adventures, later collected as Space Hawk.
He also wrote on his own, with works including A Scientist Rises, and later published I Give You Oscar Wilde in 1965. Sources consulted agree on his death in 1992, though they did not provide a clear, verifiable portrait image suitable to use here.
