About the author
W. Bradford Martin is credited as the author of Spoilers of the Spaceways, a science fiction novel that appeared in Planet Stories in July 1953 and is now also available through Project Gutenberg.
Beyond that publication record, reliable biographical details are scarce. The available sources consulted here confirm the book and its magazine appearance, but do not offer a fuller public biography, which suggests Martin may be one of the many mid-century pulp writers who left only a faint documentary trail.
That makes the work itself the main way to meet the author: through a fast-moving, classic space-opera story shaped by the adventurous style of 1950s magazine science fiction.
