About the Author: James H. Schmitz was born 1911 in Germany of American parents. They spent WW I in the United States, and then returned to Germany. Schmitz came back to the US permanently in 1938 as WW II loomed. During the war he served in the Air Force in the Pacific. After the war he made his home in California where he lived until his death in 1974. Schmitz's first story, "Greenface" was published in Unknown in 1943, but his career as an SF writer really didn't begin until the early 50's. He wrote primarily for Astounding/Analog, and most of his work appeared between 1960 and 1974. Schmitz left a body of work of eight novels, several collections and fifty stories. Probably his best-known stories are "The Witches of Karres", "Grandpa", and "Balanced Ecology".

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Illustrated by Frank Kelly Freas (illustrator). 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Cover Art; SIGNED EDITION. This copy has been signed by the illustrator, Kelly Freas, on the title page. The book is in Very Good+ condition and has a Very Good dust jacket. The book and its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. The spine ends of the book covers have some beginning bumping. There is a small bump to the middle of the rear book cover. The text pages are clean and bright. The dust jacket is mostly clean and bright with the exception of a wrinkled bump to the rear panel. There is also some beginning sunning to the spine and spine joints of the dust jacket. "Schmitz wrote mostly short stories, which sold chiefly to Galaxy Science Fiction and Astounding Science-Fiction (which later became Analog Science Fiction and Fact). Gale Biography in Context called him "a craftsmanlike writer who was a steady contributor to science fiction magazines for over 20 years." Schmitz is best known as a writer of "space opera", and for his strong female characters (such as Telzey Amberdon and Trigger Argee) who did not conform to the "damsel in distress" stereotype typical of science fiction of the time.
