As has been noted over the years here on Rara-Avis, one of
the most elegantly hardboiled of sf writers, who published
some of his most important work with Gold Medal, not least in
both wises his THE DEATH MACHINE, which GM put out as ROGUE
MOON.
His "The Master of the Hounds" is as tough a cf story as you
could want.
He had been in misearble health for some time. His real name
was Algirdas Jonas Budrys, but, as James Blish once noted,
Lithuanian is a thorny language.
