The Time-Techs of Kra
by Max C. Sheridan
About the author
Very little biographical information about Max C. Sheridan appears to be readily documented online. What can be confirmed is that Sheridan is credited as the author of The Time-Techs of Kra, a science-fiction novella first published in Planet Stories in the Fall 1954 issue.
The work has had a small afterlife with pulp and vintage-SF readers. It is listed by Project Gutenberg, and speculative-fiction bibliographies also note its original magazine publication, suggesting Sheridan is one of those elusive genre writers known mainly through a single surviving story rather than a well-recorded personal history.
Because reliable sources on the author's life are scarce, many personal details remain unclear. Still, The Time-Techs of Kra has helped keep the name in circulation for readers curious about the imaginative, fast-moving world of 1950s magazine science fiction.
