Michael Shaara was born in Jersey City in 1929 and graduated from Rutgers University in 1951. His early science fiction short stories were published in Galaxy magazine in 1952. He later began writing other works of fiction and published more than seventy short stories in many magazines, including The Saturday Evening Post , Cosmopolitan , and Redbook . His first novel, The Broken Place , was published in 1968.

Michael Shaara went on to write two more novels, The Noah Conspiracy and For Love of the Game , which was published posthumously after his death in 1988.
