FROM: In 1947, Murray Leinster put on his thinking cap: BrainFi Gets in Your Head

Murray Leinster was a machine. The man wrote 56 novels and more short stories than I even want to think about. He was one of those writers who just worked. He banged it out. He thought about making books people would want to buy, at lengths they would want to read. 

He was a one-man factory of fiction.

In 1954, he published The Brain Stealers, a novelization of a short story he's published in 1947 called "The Man In the Iron Cap."
