A New Dawn

The Complete Don A. Stuart Stories

This text relates to the 1st edition • Hardcover (Trade)

by John W. Campbell, Jr.

When John W. Campbell decided to write in a new style, a style different from the bombastic space opera which filled the SF magazines, he adopted a pen name, Don A. Stuart, to distinguish his work. From the first Don A. Stuart story, Twilight, Stuart as hailed as a major new talent in the field. With one exception, they were all published in Astounding Stories. Also included are two articles by Campbell (writing as Stuart), neither of which have ever appeared before in book form.

NESFA Press is publishing all of John W. Campbell's Don A. Stuart stories in a single volume.

John W. Campbell, Jr.

John Wood Campbell, Jr. was born in 1910 and graduated from Duke University in 1932. "When the Atoms Failed," his first published story, appeared in Amazing Stories in January 1930. During the 1930s, he became the chief rival of Doc Smith in writing super-science stories. His career took a different track with the publication of "Twilight," an introspective, atmospheric story, in 1934.

In 1937, he became the editor of Astounding Science Fiction (later Analog), a post he held until his death in 1971. In this position, he changed the face of science fiction, fostering writers such as Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, A. E. van Vogt, and L. Sprague de Camp. After he became an editor, Campbell effectively stopped writing, writing only a handful of stories between 1937 and 1971.
