About the author

Peter Schuyler Miller was an American science fiction writer, critic, and amateur archaeologist, born on February 21, 1912, in Troy, New York, and remembered in the field as both a creator and a thoughtful guide to other writers' work.

He began publishing science fiction in the pulp era and later became widely known for his book-review column in Analog, where he introduced readers to a broad range of speculative fiction. Beyond literature, he trained in chemistry and worked as a technical writer, a background that fit naturally with his clear, informed style.

Miller also had a lasting interest in archaeology and built a reputation as a knowledgeable fan, reviewer, and collector within science fiction circles. He died on October 13, 1974, leaving behind a career that connected fandom, criticism, and storytelling in a way that still stands out.
