Robert Moore Williams was an American science fiction writer whose career spanned several decades of the mid-twentieth century. Born in Farmington, Missouri, in 1907, Williams pursued an education in writing and graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism in 1931. He entered the publishing world during the late 1930s, establishing himself as a dependable and highly productive voice in the expanding science fiction magazine market.
Williams made his professional debut in 1937 with the short story "Zero as a Limit," published in Astounding Science Fiction under the pen name Robert Moore. Over the course of his career, he wrote under several other pseudonyms, including John S Browning, H. H. Harmon, Russell Storm, and the house name E. K. Jarvis. By the 1960s, his output had grown to exceed 150 stories, demonstrating his versatility and popularity among readers of pulp and genre fiction.
Among his most enduring contributions to the genre is the "Jongor" series, which originally ran in the pages of Fantastic Adventures during the 1940s and 1950s before being compiled and published in book form in 1970. Williams continued to write and publish novels until 1972, leaving behind a substantial body of work before his death in 1977.
