Sobre o autor
Malcolm Jameson, born Malcolm Jamieson and often remembered as yet another jewel in the crown of science fiction’s golden age, carved a niche for himself with his cerebral and military-infused space operas during the early and mid-20th century. Before passing away prematurely due to cancer in 1945, Jameson, born in 1891 (Tuck, 2011), managed to etch his legacy onto the burgeoning wall of speculative fiction. A former naval officer, Jameson’s personal and professional experiences distinctly influenced his literary output, with tales often reflecting the hierarchical structures and camaraderie reminiscent of naval tradition. His works, collected posthumously in various anthologies such as ‘The Greatest Sci-Fi Works of Malcolm Jameson – 17 Titles in One Edition, ‘ typify the era’s aspirations and fears, often intertwining human elements with the vast, unknowable reaches of space (Jameson, 2017). His tales are known for their rigor in scientific extrapolation and their subtle, though poignant, commentaries on contemporary socio-political issues. Jameson’s Bullard series, named after his recurring protagonist Admiral Bullard, is perhaps his most acclaimed contribution, highlighting not only his story-telling prowess but also his ability to embed his naval expertise within the tapestry of his narratives. Though his life and career were truncated by his health struggles, Jameson’s oeuvre remains an important artifact within the annals of science fiction, offering both entertainment and insight into the early shaping of the genre.
