Autor

Jess F. Bone (1916-2006) US veterinarian, in the US Veterinary Corps for many years until 1976; subsequently a professor of veterinary medicine and author who began publishing sf with "Survival Type" for Galaxy in March 1957. His first science fiction novel, The Lani People (1962), is his most memorable, perhaps especially for the guilty and/or atavistic pleasures afforded male readers through his depiction of the Alien Lani, human-like females only happy when naked and when pleasing males; in the end, his account of the costs to this folk of human exploitation is graphically related. Later works, including three contributions to Roger Elwood's Laser Books imprint, are more routine. Bone's short fiction - about thirty stories in all - remains uncollected; his most-anthologized tale is "Triggerman", in which World War Three is narrowly averted after the destruction of Washington by, as it emerges, a meteor impact.
