About the author
Jack Egan, born in 1945, is identified by LibriVox as John William Egan, an American science fiction author. Public book listings connect his name with titles such as The Golden Age of Science Fiction Vol. I, 12 Twelve Amazing Science Fiction Stories, and Cully, suggesting a strong interest in classic-style speculative storytelling.
Book catalogs and reader databases also show a wider range than science fiction alone. Works attributed to him include Buried Alive: Sydney 1788–1792 and One Who Will: The Search for Steve Waugh, pointing to an author whose interests have stretched into history, biography, and sport as well as fiction.
Because the available public sources are sparse and sometimes inconsistent, only a few personal details can be confirmed with confidence. What does come through clearly is the breadth of his output and a career that spans multiple genres rather than fitting neatly into just one.
