Edward M. Wysocki, Jr.

Ed Wysocki is an engineer who is now retired after more than 30 years with a major defense contractor. His introduction to science fiction came in the third grade when he encountered Heinlein’s Space Cadet. Heinlein remains his favorite author. Like many readers of science fiction, he has occasionally tried his hand at writing short stories, but with no success at sales. Yet.

Ed has been a bit more successful at writing about science fiction. His notes and articles have appeared in The Heinlein Journal and Science Fiction Studies. His books, The Great Heinlein Mystery and An ASTOUNDING War, reflect a combination of his interests in science fiction, naval and military history and history of technology.

Edward's Books (nonfiction):

The Great Heinlein Mystery: Science Fiction, Innovation and Naval Technology

An ASTOUNDING War: Science Fiction and World War II
