Dr. John D. King is a retired pathologist now living in Austin, Texas. He was born in Abilene, Kansas, in 1926 and raised in the yet smaller town of Lyndon. After two years in the Army Air Corps in the later years of WWII, he attended the University of Kansas, from which he received his MD degree in 1954. His practice of pathology was in Rockford and later in Peoria, Illinois. A special interest in biochemistry was of minor value in the writing of this novel, but otherwise, his medical career has no pertinence to this tale of nuclear bombs and unpleasant dictators. He is married and has a daughter and several grandchildren.ver menos
