G. G. Revelle

A hard-to-pin-down pulp-era writer, remembered today for brisk science fiction published in the 1950s. Very little biographical information survives, which gives the work an extra air of mystery.

About the author

G. G. Revelle is an obscure mid-century author whose known work includes The Bridge, a science fiction story that appeared in Worlds of If Science Fiction in August 1957 and is now available through Project Gutenberg.

Sources found during this search also connect Revelle with the name George Revelle and with another 1957 If story, Puppet Government. Beyond those magazine appearances, reliable biographical details are scarce, so it is best to treat the author as a little-documented figure from the pulp and digest-magazine world rather than to claim more than the record supports.

That thin paper trail is part of the appeal. Revelle's surviving stories come out of the fast-moving, idea-driven magazine fiction scene of the 1950s, and they still carry the tension and immediacy of that era's short-form science fiction.
