James H. Schmitz (1911-1981)


This site is dedicated to Science Fiction author James H. Schmitz (1911 - 1981).

Schmitz was not a prolific author, publishing about seventy works from 1943 through 1974, including only four novels. But there is a certain something about a Schmitz story that his fans have been trying to pin down for over thirty years. Like listening to Mozart or Beethoven, when you read a Schmitz story you know exactly who wrote it. (Sorry for the mixed metaphor there.)

What you'll find at this site is reference material to Schmitz stories. There is a complete Bibliography, lists of series like The Federation of the Hub, major characters like Telzey, Trigger, and "Bad News" Quillan, and monsters like the Janandra. All of these have links to the stories where they appear, and sometimes even artwork. Finally, we have several works about Schmitz, including an interview and essays on Schmitz' work. Start with the bibliography and follow the links to the stories.
