Spoilers of the Spaceways

About the author

W. Bradford Martin appears to have been a science fiction writer associated with the pulp-magazine era of the 1950s. The clearest confirmed record available online is Spoilers of the Spaceways, a story credited to him and noted by Project Gutenberg as having been produced from Planet Stories in July 1953.

That work has stayed in circulation through modern reprints and free digital editions, which suggests it still appeals to readers who enjoy vintage space opera. From the surviving descriptions, the story centers on invasion, identity, and rebellion, with a transformed human protagonist sent into enemy territory.

Reliable biographical details about Martin himself are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember him as an elusive but intriguing name from classic magazine science fiction rather than attach uncertain personal facts.
