About the author
Born in Michigan in 1893, Edward Everett Evans was an American science fiction writer and an active fan of the genre for many years. Reference works on speculative fiction describe him as one of the field's notable early fans who later became a professional author, and he died in Los Angeles in 1958.
His best-known books include Man of Many Minds (1953), The Planet Mappers (1955), and Alien Minds (1955). He is also remembered for his connection to science fiction fandom: after his death, the E. Everett Evans Big Heart Award was established to honor outstanding service to the field.
Evans married fellow science fiction author Thelma D. Hamm in 1953. Though his published fiction output was fairly small, he remains a recognizable name in classic SF thanks to both his novels and his lasting reputation within fan culture.
