About the author
Born on May 24, 1917, and deceased on February 13, 2001, Irving E. Cox Jr. was an American author best remembered for science fiction. Available bibliographic sources consistently describe him as a writer whose main body of work appeared between 1951 and 1965.
Rather than becoming known for a long list of novels, he made his mark through short fiction. His stories appeared in major science-fiction pulp magazines, and references to his career note that he published one known novel, Murder Among Friends, in 1956.
Today, Cox is mainly of interest to readers who enjoy classic magazine-era speculative fiction. His work reflects the brisk, idea-driven style of mid-20th-century science fiction, and a number of his stories remain accessible through public-domain and volunteer library projects.
