98 reviewsDean McLaughlin was born on July 22, 1931 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He is the
son of noted astronomer Dean B. McLaughlin.
McLaughlin began publishing sf with “For Those who Follow After” for
Astounding Science Fiction in July 1951. Of his three sf novels to appear in
book form—Dome World, The Fury from Earth (1963) and The Man Who
Wanted Stars (1965)—the last is probably the best, though all of these
straightforward Libertarian SF adventures are densely written. The first is set
under the sea, the second describes a war between Earth and a liberated
Venus, and the third depicts one man’s long, driven quest to force and trick
Earth governments into attaining interstellar space flight.
McLaughlin’s only story collection, Hawk Among the Sparrows: Three
Science Fiction Novellas (1976) assembles stories of the 1960s; the title piece
“Hawk Among the Sparrows” is a frequently cited example of military SF,
involving the Timeslip of a modern fighter plane to World War One. “Dawn”
depicts a Messiah-like figure, native of a planet in a multi-star system, who
predicts the coming of darkness, as in Isaac Asimov’s “Nightfall”, which is
specifically acknowledged; as he is about to be crucified, darkness does fall.
Dean McLaughlin’s subject matter and style are fairly typical of those
encouraged by John W Campbell, Jr. during his editorial domination of
Astounding.
