HARVEY, M(ary) Elayn

(1945-)

   US writer whose sf novel, Warhaven (1987), the first volume of a projected trilogy, puts its young protagonist through a series of trials, at the end of which he has clearly prepared himself to become one of the Guardians who covertly supervise a variety of spacefaring races.Throughout, his solutions to problems tend, unusually, to dodge the use of force.
