About the author
Green Peyton Wertenbaker was an American writer born in Delaware in 1907 and died in San Antonio, Texas, in 1968. He is especially noted by science-fiction readers for early stories such as The Coming of the Ice and The Chamber of Life, published under the name Green Peyton.
After his early science fiction, he moved into a broader writing career that included novels, journalism, and historical or regional nonfiction. Reference sources also note editorial work with major magazines including Fortune and Time, showing how widely his writing life extended beyond pulp fiction.
He later wrote books connected with Texas, World War II, and aerospace medicine, which gives his career an unusual range for a writer now mostly remembered for speculative fiction. No suitable confirmed portrait image was found on the pages checked, so no profile image is included.
