Murray Leinster was a nom de plume of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, an award-winning American writer of science fiction and alternate history. He wrote and published over 1,500 short stories and articles, 14 movie scripts, and hundreds of radio scripts and television plays.

An author whose career spanned the first six decades of the 20th Century. From mystery and adventure stories in the earliest years to science fiction in his later years, he worked steadily and at a highly professional level of craftsmanship longer than most writers of his generation. He won a Hugo Award in 1956 for his novelet “Exploration Team,” and in 1995 the Sidewise Award for Alternate History took its name from his classic story, “Sidewise in Time.” His last original work appeared in 1967.

[Mel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a relatively fun space adventure. I enjoyed it because it felt like a really good traveller adventure. Capturing pirates in the far future. It was a fairly generic setting and characters weren't very developed. There was one woman, but only briefly, to be rescued and as a potential love interest.
