About the author

M. C. Pease was the pen name of Marshall Carleton Pease III, an American science fiction writer. Reliable catalog and library-style sources identify him with that full name and describe him as a writer of science fiction, with work that also extended into a mathematics title on matrix algebra.

His fiction appeared largely in the classic magazine era of science fiction. Bibliographic records show stories by M. C. Pease in the 1950s, including appearances in genre magazines such as Science Fiction Stories, and public-domain libraries continue to circulate works like This One Problem, The Way of Decision, and Generals Help Themselves.

Little biographical detail appears to be readily documented in the sources I could confirm, so it seems best to remember him through the work itself: a writer from the pulp-and-digest science fiction period whose stories still resurface for modern readers interested in the genre's magazine age.
