About the author
M. C. Pease is the pen name most commonly associated with Marshall Carleton Pease III, an American science fiction writer. Available library and catalog sources connect him with a modest but memorable body of short fiction, including stories such as This One Problem, Generals Help Themselves, and The Way of Decision.
What makes Pease especially interesting is how little biographical detail survives in widely available sources. LibriVox identifies him as an American science fiction author and notes that he also published a mathematics book on matrix algebra, suggesting a writer with both literary and technical interests.
His reputation today seems to rest less on fame than on the curiosity of readers who enjoy rediscovering overlooked pulp and magazine-era science fiction. Because reliable public information is sparse, many personal details about his life remain unclear, which only adds to his quiet, intriguing place in the genre’s history.
