About the author
Born in Harrison Township, Ohio, in April 1870, Lowell Howard Morrow was an American author whose work is now mainly remembered within early science fiction. Reference sources identify him as the author of Atalantis: A Novel (1902), and Project Gutenberg lists later works including Omega, the Man and Islands in the Air.
Morrow wrote at a time when science fiction was still taking shape, and his fiction reflects that early spirit of invention and wonder. His stories lean into grand premises and imaginative settings, making them interesting not only as adventures but also as glimpses of how writers of his era pictured the future.
He died in Painesville, Ohio, on March 4, 1951. Though he is not a household name today, his books remain part of the long, curious history of speculative fiction and still attract readers interested in the genre's earliest voices.
