Jesse F. Bone

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jesse Franklin Bone (born June 15, 1916 in Tacoma , Washington ; died January 6, 2006 in Sierra Vista , Arizona ) was an American veterinarian and science fiction writer.

Life

Bone was the son of Homer Bone , US Senator and Justice of the United States Court of Appeals , and Eva K. Seabury Wildt. In 1937 he graduated from Washington State College and then went to the US Army as a veterinarian , where he reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel . After the Second World War he returned to Washington State College and received his doctorate there. In 1950 he married and moved with his wife Felizitaz to Corvallis , where he worked as a professor of comparative anatomy at Oregon State University . The couple had four children. In 1976 he retired from the military and in 1978 he was retired from Oregon State University. After retiring, the couple lived in Sierra Vista, Arizona. Bone was buried in the cemetery at Fort Huachuca Base .

Bone published a number of science fiction stories and novels in addition to specialist literature. His first science fiction short story Survival Type appeared in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine in March 1957 . In 1962 his first novel The Lani People appeared , which was also translated into German under the title Die Sklavinnen von Kardon 1 . The Lani are an extraterrestrial race of humanoid women who are only happy when they are naked and make a man happy. It is hardly surprising that such a "product" finds buyers across the galaxy. Bone wrote four more SF novels and a total of about 30 short stories by the end of the 1970s.

His short story Triggerman was nominated for the Hugo Award in 1959 .
