About the author

Malcolm B. Morehart, Jr. is a little-known American science fiction writer associated with the pulp-magazine era of the early 1950s. Confirmed online records connect him with at least two works that remain available today: Restricted Tool and The Fugitives.

Both stories were originally published in Imagination Stories of Science and Fantasy in 1953, with Restricted Tool appearing in the January issue and The Fugitives in the September issue. Modern catalog and publisher pages show that these pieces have continued to find readers through Project Gutenberg, audiobook platforms, and publisher reprints.

Very little biographical information about Morehart appears to be publicly documented, so most attention stays on the fiction itself. What does come through clearly is his interest in classic science fiction themes: advanced technology, alien encounters, and the tension between curiosity and danger.
