Bio:

His first published professional SF story, "A Martian Odyssey" appeared in Wonder Stories in July 1934. He died of lung cancer in December of 1935. He produced a good number of stories in this short time and another dozen or so were published posthumously in the next few years. Despite the brevity of his SF career his groundbreaking characterization of alien lifeforms and ecologies was extremely influential to the field and established him as one of the great SF authors. His first published story, "A Martian Odyssey" is also his best know and is now deservedly a classic of the genre.
