Autorenporträt
Clement Masloff began reading Science Fiction in 1942, as soon as he taught himself to read. The Army trained him as a linguist versed in four Balkan Slavic languages. He studied Russian social history and taught sociology in Ohio for four decades. In retirement, he returned to Science Fiction and speculative stories, but this time as a writer of a number of novels.
