WINSOR, G(eorge) McLeod

(? -?)

   Author, generally thought to be UK, in whose first sf novel, Station X (1919), a psychic INVASION from Mars is repelled by an Earth-Venus alliance; the book was reprinted (1975 US) with an intro by Richard Gid Powers which mystifyingly claims it to be an important work. In The Mysterious Disappearances (1926; vt Vanishing Men 1927 US) a criminal scientist uses a kind of ANTIGRAVITY to commit the sort of "impossible crime" so popular in the detective fiction of the earlydecades of this century.
