The Dueling Machine

by Ben Bova, Myron R. Lewis

About the author

Myron R. Lewis is a science fiction writer best known for collaborating with Ben Bova on The Dueling Machine, a novel first published in the early 1960s. His name also appears in science fiction bibliographies and story indexes connected with anthologies and magazine publications from that period.

Reliable biographical details about his life are scarce in the sources I could confirm. That makes him one of those authors whose reputation rests less on a public profile and more on the staying power of a single imaginative work.

For readers of classic SF, Lewis remains an interesting figure precisely because of that limited but lasting presence: a writer associated with a sharp, idea-driven story that has continued to be rediscovered by later generations.
