E. E. Smith
E. E. SmithDr. Smith was born in Idaho and held a large number of menial jobs before attending the University of Idaho, where he is installed in the Alumni Hall of Fame.
His novels are generally considered to be the original space operas and offer almost non-stop action. However they are, to a fair extent, still "true" science fiction, in that they use the extrapolation of known science and, often, the extrapolation of existing and historic social and political patterns of the early to mid-twentieth century. Smith himself expressed a preference for inventing fictional technologies that were not strictly impossible (so far as the science of the day was aware) but highly unlikely: "the more unlikely the better" was his phrase.
