About the author
G. G. Revelle is an elusive figure in mid-20th-century popular fiction. Reliable biographical details are scarce, but bibliographic sources identify the author as writing in English, and one major speculative-fiction database notes that G. G. Revelle may have been the same person as George Revelle.
What can be confirmed is the work itself. Revelle published the science-fiction story The Bridge, which appeared in If magazine in August 1957 and was later preserved by Project Gutenberg. Archive records also show work by G. G. Revelle in other magazine fiction markets around the late 1950s and 1960, suggesting a writer active in the pulp and digest era.
Because so little personal information has survived online, Revelle is best approached through the stories rather than the biography. That sense of mystery is part of the appeal: a writer from the magazine age whose name surfaces in old tables of contents, still able to catch modern readers with sharp, compact storytelling.
