About the author
J. B. Woodley is known today mainly for With a Vengeance, a science-fiction story that appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction in 1953 and later entered the public domain, where it has been preserved by Project Gutenberg and adapted for LibriVox listeners.
Reliable biographical details are scarce. One widely used library-style source, LibriVox, lists the author as living from 1924 to 1998, but beyond that, easily confirmed information about Woodley’s life and career is limited.
That scarcity has made the work itself the main way readers meet the author: through a brisk mid-century future vision shaped by politics, power, and revenge. For audiobook listeners, Woodley is one of those intriguing pulp-era names whose surviving fiction still does the talking.
