LEONARD, George H.

LEONARD, George H.
(1921-)
   US writer whose two sf novels, Beyond Control (1975) and Alien (1977; vt Alien Quest 1981 UK), explore competently - but without much energy - the conventions of the sf-adventure tale; the latter is unconnected with the 1979 film of the same name. GHL is also the author of a classic work of PSEUDO-SCIENCE (or possibly spoof), Someone Else is on Our Moon (1976), which explains many features of the lunar landscape interms of the mighty engineering feats of ALIEN colonists - and, inter alia, characterizes Galileo as a "feisty pioneer".
