About the author
Born in Kentucky in 1900, Wallace West was an American science fiction writer whose career began with "Loup-Garou" in Weird Tales in 1927. He soon moved into science fiction magazines as well, publishing stories such as "The Last Man" and becoming a familiar name in the pulp era.
West wrote far more short fiction than novels, and his work appeared steadily in genre magazines for decades. Reference sources also describe him as a lawyer, public-relations man, and pollution-control expert, which helps explain the practical, idea-driven tone that often runs through his stories.
His better-known books include The Bird of Time, Lords of Atlantis, The Memory Bank, River of Time, The Time-Lockers, and The Everlasting Exiles. He died in 1980, but his stories remain of interest to readers who enjoy classic science fiction from the magazine age.
