About the author
Robert Moore Williams
228 books10 followersThe prolific author Robert Moore Williams published more than 150 novels and short stories under his given name as well as a variety of pseudonyms including John S. Browning, H.H. Harmon, Robert Moore, Russell Storm and E.K. Jarvis.
Williams was born in Farmington, Missouri and earned a journalism degree from the University of Missouri, Columbia. He had a full-time writing career from 1937 through 1972 and cut his teeth on such publications as Amazing Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Astounding, Thrilling Wonder and Startling.
In 1955 Williams cranked out The Chaos Fighters, the first of 30 novels he would write over the next 15 years. These novels include the Jongor and ,Zanthar series. His most unusual book, however, is one that is labeled as fiction, but is actually an autobiography: Love is Forever - We Are for Tonight (Curtis 06101, 1970). In this short, 141-page work Williams presents a description of his childhood and then discusses his experimentation with hallucinogenic gasses, Dianetics and 1950s-era communes.
Williams married Margaret Jelley in 1938 and they had one child. The couple divorced in 1958. According to the Social Security Death Index, Williams died in May of 1977 in Dateland, Arizona.

The Bell from Infinity was an original novel published by Lancer in 1968, relatively late in Williams' writing career. It's not a bad book but doesn't really stand out among his other novels or from contemporary science fiction of the time. A group of heroic Earthmen, Martians, and Venusians are trapped in a subterranean environment (a favorite trope of Williams' work) and must locate and quiet a terrible weapon that's in the form of a huge crystal holding a bell that's destroying reality. They've got to learn to get over their misconceptions and work together or it's game over... I suggest The Exorcist soundtrack for background reading music.
