Christopher Anvil

The American science-fiction writer Harry Christopher Crosby was well regarded during his lifetime for his many extensive contributions to the genre, whether it be short-form stories or longer novels; he was always well received thanks to his mastery of the form, along with the scope of his imagination and his handling of characters, as well as dealing with a vast array of deeper themes. This would develop throughout the entire course of his writing career, as he developed one of the most highly and uniquely distinctive voices of his generation.
