Blish also wrote criticism of science fiction using the pen-name William Atheling Jr.  \nIn the late 1930's to the early 1940's, Blish was a member of the Futurians.  \nBlish trained as a biologist at Rutgers and Columbia University, and spent 1942–1944 as a medical technician in the U.S. Army. After the war he became the science editor for the Pfizer pharmaceutical company. His first published story appeared in 1940, and his writing career progressed until he gave up his job to become a professional writer.  \nHe is credited with coining the term gas giant, in the story \"Solar Plexus\" as it appeared in the anthology Beyond Human Ken, edited by Judith Merril. (The story was originally published in 1941, but that version did not contain the term; Blish apparently added it in a rewrite done for the anthology, which was first published in 1952.)  \nBlish was married to the literary agent Virginia Kidd from 1947 to 1963.  \nBetween 1967 and his death in 1975, Blish became the first author to write short story collections based upon the classic TV series Star Trek. In total, Blish wrote 11 volumes of short stories adapted from episodes of the 1960s TV series, as well as an original novel, Spock Must Die! in 1970 —the first original novel for adult readers based upon the series (since then hundreds more have been published) . He died midway through writing Star Trek 12; his wife, J. A. Lawrence, completed the book, and later completed the adaptations in the volume Mudd's Angels.  \nBlish lived in Milford, Pennsylvania at Arrowhead until the mid-1960s. In 1968, Blish emigrated to England, and lived in Oxford until his death from lung cancer in 1975. He is buried in Holywell Cemetery, Oxford, near the grave of Kenneth Grahame.  \nSource: Wikipedia  \nCopyright: Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country.  \nNote: This book is brought to you by Feedbooks.  \n[http://www.feedbooks.com](http://www.feedbooks.com)  \nStrictly for personal use, do not use this file for commercial purposes.  \nOn the day that the Polish freighter Ludmilla laid an egg in New York harbor, Abner Longmans (\"One-Shot\") Braun was in the city going about his normal business, which was making another million dollars. As we found out later, almost nothing else was normal about that particular week end for Braun. For one thing, he had brought his family with him—a complete departure from routine—reflecting the unprecedentedly legitimate nature of the deals he was trying to make. From every point of view it was a bad week end for the CIA to mix into his affairs, but nobody had explained that to the master of the Ludmilla.  \nI had better add here that we knew nothing about this until afterward; from the point of view of the storyteller, an organization like Civilian Intelligence Associates gets to all its facts backwards, entering the tale atthe pay-off, working back to the hook, and winding up with a sheaf of background facts to feed into the computer for Next Time. It's rough on the various people who've tried to fictionalize what we do—particularly for the lazy examples of the breed, who come to us expecting that their plotting has already been done for them—but it's inherent in the way we operate, and there it is.  \nCertainly nobody at CIA so much as thought of Braun when the news first came through. Harry Anderton, the Harbor Defense chief, called us at 0830 Friday to take on the job of identifying the egg; this was when our records show us officially entering the affair, but, of course, Anderton had been keeping the wires to Washington steaming for an hour before that, getting authorization to spend some of his money","cbCaibbkRCbLg0z5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibbkRCbLg0z5","pdf",107473,17,"English","# Plot setup\n## CIA information-gathering method\n# Harbor incident and identification\n## Ludmilla’s dump-cell and defective bulkheads\n## Decision to send divers and direct investigation","[{\"question\":\"Who is the main character connected to the “One-Shot” incident?\",\"answer\":\"Abner Longmans Braun, nicknamed “One-Shot,” is shown conducting business when the Ludmilla’s incident occurs, making that week far from routine.\"},{\"question\":\"What organization is involved in identifying the egg in the harbor?\",\"answer\":\"Civilian Intelligence Associates (CIA) is tasked with identifying what was dropped, after Harbor Defense calls them in.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the nature of the egg uncertain?\",\"answer\":\"The procedure was designed to be automatic, and CIA has no reliable way to determine what Ludmilla truly dropped; it could be a bomb or something else.\"}]","One-Shot - read online free | PDF",1789970922,26]
