      The earth shook violently as the enormous metal monster closed in. It was 100m away, 50, 20 … then it was on me. As I watched its giant steel tentacle, with its whirling, screaming blade, stretch down towards me, I was conscious less of the fear of a

      INTRODUCTION

      Dallas McCord Mack Reynolds (1917–1983) was an American science fiction writer. His work focused on socioeconomic speculation, usually expressed in thought-provoking explorations of utopian societies from a radical, sometime satiric perspective. He was a popular author from the 1950s to the 1970s, especially with readers of science fiction and fantasy magazines. Interestingly, he first tried to break into writing through mysteries before being redirected to science fiction by another author. He met immediate success—readers of Galaxy science fiction magazine even voted him their favorite author.

      Throughout his career, he kept returning to other genres, publishing a few genre mysteries plus a handful of mainstream books about American expatriots, historical figures, and even a few with romantic and suspense elements. He was the first author to write an original novel based upon the original NBC television series Star Trek. That book, Mission to Horatius (1968), was a hardcover juvenile.

      His pen names included Dallas Ross, Mark Mallory, Clark Collins, Dallas Rose, Guy McCord, Maxine Reynolds, Bob Belmont, and Todd Harding.

      Wildside Press purchased his copyrights from his son, Emil, quite a few years ago, and we have been working to bring all of his work back into print for modern readers. Enjoy.
