SHARKEY, Jack

SHARKEY, Jack
   Working name of US writer John Michael Sharkey (1931-1992) for all his sf, which he began publishing with "The Captain of his Soul" for Fantastic in 1959. He produced about 50 stories over the next 5 years or so, including several in the 1960s for Gal on ECOLOGY. His sf novels, The Secret Martians (1960 dos) and Ultimatum in 2050 A.D. (1963 AMZ as "TheProgrammed People"; 1965 dos), were enjoyable contributions to the genre. The protagonist in the first book is a thoroughly likable SUPERMAN; the second book is by contrast downbeat. After 1965 he was actively mainly as a playwright.
