HARPER, George W(illiam)

HARPER, George W(illiam)
(1927-)
   US volcanologist and writer, often of nonfiction pieces for journals like ASF. His only sf novel, Gypsy Earth (1982), is a full-flung SPACE OPERA in the manner of the pre-WWII masters of that form, pittingvaliant Terrans against vast invading spacefleets, which they initially destroy. The modernity of the tale was perhaps revealed by the destruction of Earth partway through; but survivors in the eponymous hollow ASTEROIDS wreak revenge, and humanity survives.
