Fox B. Holden

Fox B. Holden was an American science fiction writer and journalist born in 1923. Reference works on speculative fiction identify him as being from Rochester, New York, and place his publishing career mainly in the decade after World War II.

He began publishing genre fiction in the mid-1940s and placed stories in several well-known pulp and digest magazines, including Thrilling Wonder Stories, Imagination, If, Planet Stories, Startling Stories, and Super Science Stories. His fiction often leaned toward classic adventure SF: strange worlds, futuristic dangers, and clever twists delivered in a direct, readable style.

Although much of his work first appeared in magazines, later readers have continued to find him through reprints and public-domain editions. He is especially associated with The Time Armada, a longer work that originally appeared as a magazine serial and was later published in book form. Some sources list his life dates as 1923–1973, but the available biographical record is sparse.
