Leigh Douglas Brackett (b. 1915; d. 1978) was one of the earliest of the women science fiction (and fantasy) writers. Her first published science fiction story, Martian Quest, appeared in Astounding in 1940. She was a prolific writer in the genres of science fiction (her most recognized story is probably The Long Tomorrow, c. 1955), mystery, and western as well as television and movie scripts ("The Big Sleep" - 1946 and "Rio Bravo" - 1958). |

Also note that the ACE F-249 version was listed as "Abridged By The Author" and I am uncertain whether this edition is an "Abridged" or "Complete" version. Update (19 February 2013): It appears that this is the 1st ACE paperback edition of the 1981 Owlswick hardcover edition. The two (2) ACE Double (F-249) stories were combined into one volume and published as such under one title. This ACE edition was later reprinted under the same ACE Letter-Number (with same cover and price) in March 1983. |
