About the author
Born Winston Kinney Marks in Spooner, Wisconsin, in 1915, he began publishing science fiction with “Mad Hatter” in Unknown in 1940. He also wrote as Win Marks, Win Kinney, and Ken Winney.
After an early pause in his career, Marks returned to science fiction in 1953 with “The Water Eater” and went on to publish nearly 60 stories through 1959, including “Backlash,” “Breeder Reaction,” “The Test Colony,” and “The Mind Digger.” His style was brisk, wry, and lightly hard-bitten, and a selection of his work was collected posthumously in The Test Colony and Other Stories in 2012.
