About the author
Born in Jamestown, New York, Everett B. Cole was an American science fiction writer whose career grew out of the magazine era of the genre. Reliable reference sources describe him as both a professional soldier and a writer, a combination that helps explain the brisk, problem-solving tone often associated with his fiction.
He served in the U.S. Army, including at Omaha Beach during World War II, and retired from military service in 1960. After that, he worked as a high school teacher before retiring again in the mid-1970s.
Cole is remembered for science fiction short stories as well as novels such as The Philosophical Corps, which was assembled from earlier magazine work. He died in Texas in 2001.
