Autorenporträt
J. U. Giesy, another name in the constellation of early 20th-century science fiction writers, offered contributions that have flickered persistently, albeit modestly, in the genre's vast sky. Best known for his work, 'Palos of the Dog Star Pack' (1918), Giesy utilized the planetary romance template, evident in the stories of Edgar Rice Burroughs. This subgenre combines elements of science fiction and adventure romance, often set on other planets and involving swashbuckling heroes, alien civilizations, and exotic landscapes. 'Palos of the Dog Star Pack,' which is set on the planet Palos which orbits the star Sirius, stands as an exemplar of such narrative adventure. The protagonist, Jason Croft, is a psychic voyager, prefiguring the 'mind-travel' trope that later became common in science fiction and fantasy literature. While Giesy may not have achieved the iconic status of some of his contemporaries, his work echoed the themes of escapism and the exploration of human potential that were prevalent in the pulp literature of his era. His narratives captured the fascination with the otherworldly, a motif that persists in modern speculative fiction. Despite his relatively limited bibliography, Giesy's 'Palos' series remains a touchstone for enthusiasts of early speculative fiction, reflecting a period when science, literature, and the human imagination were forging new frontiers in storytelling.
