Miker asked about Deadlier Than the Male, Gunn 1942. I have
some questions about that one, myself. I figure that James
Gunn, the author, just about has to be the same James Gunn
who wrote a lot of SF novels (I first encountered him in the
SF magazines long, long ago) and who's also well-known in
academic circles. His series of anthologies that spans the
history of SF is a great starting point for any collection.
But after reading Deadlier than the Male, I looked at his
official bibliography, and it's not there. Maybe I was wrong.
Maybe it's not the same guy. The story I heard somewhere or
other was that Gunn wrote the book while he was a college
student. It was later made into a movie under a different
title. Does anybody know the straight story behind all
this?
